Defining Fields | Paxar TC6037PR manual

There are two types of field color overlay attributes:

Transparent	The overlay field (text or constant text) does not block out
	(or “erase”) existing fields.
Opaque	The overlay field blocks out (or “erases”) existing fields.

Field placement in the packet is an important consideration when using field color attributes. If a line field is defined before the overlay (text or constant text) field, the line field is blocked out by the overlay field, depending on the overlay field’s color attribute. If a line field is defined after the overlay field, the line field is not blocked out by the overlay field, regardless of the overlay field’s color attribute.

C9. alignment Alignment of constant text in the field. Options:

LAlign on left side of field.

CCenter text within field (for monospaced fonts only)

RAlign on right side of field (for monospaced fonts only) B Align at midpoint of field

E Align at end of field.

Use L, B, or E for any font.

C10. char rot Character rotation. Options:

0Top of character points to top of field

1Top of character points to left of field

2Top of character points to bottom of field

3Top of character points to right of field

C11. field rot Field rotation. Lower left corner of field is the pivot point. Options:

0Top of overlay points to top of supply

1Top of overlay points to left of supply

2Top of overlay points to bottom of supply

3Top of overlay points to right of supply

Note: Rotation is affected by the pivot point, which varies depending on how text is justified.

C12. “fixed char” Fixed characters to appear in the field. Maximum 2710 characters. Enclose in quotation marks.
