Use lines to form borders or mark out original prices. Define each line separately.

NOTE: This field is not assigned a field number, but is counted as a field (keep this in mind, as the printer allows a maximum of 50 fields per format).

You can define any line length and a thickness up to 10 dots, as long as the solid black print does not exceed 30% of any given square inch of the label. Data edits do not apply to line fields.

NOTE: All samples shown in this chapter are created using 2.0-inch long by 2.0-inch wide supplies.
