Chapter 1 Graphics Pass

Vertical Left Orientation (^E)

Prints data down the page and roated 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the baseline faces the right margin of the paper:

hhThe height of each individual barcode or block character. This dimension is measured vertically on the page and is specified in increments of 0.1 inches (0.25 cm). The allowable height for each barcode/block character ranges from 01 to 99 (0.1 to 9.9 inches or 0.3 to 25.2 cm). For example, a value of 03 means a height of 0.3 inches (0.76 cm).

wwThe width of each printed barcode/block character. This dimension is measured horizontally on the page and is specified in increments of 0.1 inches (0.25cm). The width for each barcode/ block character ranges from 01 to 99 (0.1 to 9.9 inches or 0.3 to 25.2 cm) For example, a value of 10 means a width of 1.0 inches (2.5 cm).

jjd

Data can be positioned down the page from the beginning of the

 

Pass. This is teemed justification. the jj is the amount of

 

justification from 00 to 99 increments of 0.1 inches (0.3 to 25.2

 

cm). The d allows an additional amount of justification down from

 

0 to 9 dot rows to fine tune the final position of the data. For

 

example, inserting the value 118 means the data is moved down

 

1.1 inches (2.8 cm) plus an additional 8 dot rows. A justification

 

value of 000 sets the current print position to the top of the

 

current Graphics Pass.

NOTE: Any values not specified will default to 0.

<data>

The actual data can be printed. Characters in the data string will

 

be printed as block characters or in a particular GPL font.

 

Barcodes, lines, boxes, and formatting commands may also be

 

placed in the pass. The data contained within the pass is printed

 

in accordance with the orientation, height, width, and justifcation

 

values of the Graphics Pass.

^-

Every Graphics Pass is terminated with a Pass Terminator,

 

indicating the end of the Graphics Pass. When the printer is in

 

Free Format Mode, the printer will only recognize ^-, ^*, and ^, as

 

Pass Terminators. When the pritner is not in Free Format Mode,

 

Carriage Return (CR), Line Feed (LF), and Form Feed (FF) may

 

be used. Throughout the manual, ^- will typically be used to

 

indicate a Terminator.
