Table 8-3: Record Type Structure
In Table 8-3, the record structure is shown for each of the record types. The left-most
column shows the locations of all characters in the record, and corresponds to the
example above the table. Each record structure interprets the characters of the record
in its own way, though some of the interpretations of the characters are identical across
all record types. For example, the characters ffff are interpreted as Row Position in all
record types. While c is a Width Multiplier for Internal Bitmapped Font, Smooth Font,
Scalable Font, and Image record types, it has other interpretations for Bar Code and
Graphics record types.
