•After the link field No. is designated in the Format Command, data strings are linked using the Link Field Data Command to draw an image.

•Up to 255 digits of data strings can be linked. However, when the font type is 51, 52, 53, 54, or 55, only up to 127 digits can be linked.

When the number of digits exceeds the maximum value, excess data will be discarded.

•Up to 99 data strings can be linked.

•Up to 2048 bytes can be used as the command length ([ESC] to [NUL]) of the Link Field Data Command.

•When the data string is omitted in the Link Field Data Command, the following process is performed:

cNo process will be performed for the field which contains no print data due to the omission.

dWhen the field partially loses print data due to the omission, the only remaining data will be processed as print data.

•The Link Field Data Command can be used for the bit map font fields, outline font fields, and bar code fields.

(The same result is obtained when any of the “RC,” “RV”, or “RB” command code is designated.)
