graphics and bar codes.
Name: The Name of what you are printing is the style of font or bar code

request will consist of the word “Print” and a number of items to be printed, each at a diffe
ent row and possibly at a different column. In order for text to line up properly, keep the
column number the same, (e.g. @10, 30 (information)| @ 60,30 (information)|). Note: The
can be no spaces before or after a colon.
Global Options : An action that refers to entire receipt or label. A global option can be used to stop
the paper after a specified number of dot lines or at a specified mark, to rotate an image, or to print a
specified number or copies all at once or on demand. A colon follows global options, if any.
