A constant text field is a set of fixed characters that prints on all labels. Define each constant text field separately. 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 200 fields per format). The characters in this field cannot be changed by batch data. Field options do not apply to constant text fields.

Determine the height and the maximum width of the characters, using the tables in Appendix B, “Fonts.” If you’re using proportionally spaced fonts, use the average size of the characters. Mark the pivot point of your field. This will vary, depending on how your field is justified.

C1. C	Constant Text Field.
C2. row	For monospaced fonts, distance from bottom of print area to the pivot
	point. For proportionally spaced fonts, distance from bottom of print area
	to baseline of characters in the field. (Bottom exits the printer first.)
	English	0 - 365
	Metric	0 - 927
	Dot	0 741
C3. column	Distance from the lower left edge of the print area to the pivot point.
	English	0 - 189
	Metric	0 - 480
	Dots	0 - 383
C4. gap	Number of dots between characters (203 dots per inch). Range: 0 - 99.
	Any number other than 0 or the default number affects your field width.
	Default spacing:
	Reduced and Letter Gothic Bold 6 pt.		1 dot
	HR2 and Letter Gothic Bold 9 pt.		2 dots
	Standard, Bold, OCRA-like, and HR1		3 dots
	All other fonts		varies with each letter
