1,100, 40, 4, 1,4<CR>
1 - Field refers to text string #1 - EASY . This field could have referred to HELLO , if
it had a TSN of three. The fields do not have to be in any kind of order with
respect to the data fields.
100 - Data X co-ordinate (XB) of 100 dots from left side of label
40 - Data Y co-ordinate (YB) of 40 dots from bottom of label
4 - Character count (CC) of 4 characters, the amount of characters in EASY.
1 - A TCI of 1 indicates that the data will appear on the label as text, an ASCII string,
as opposed to, for example, a bar code.
4 - This CGN selection of 4 selects a font size of 7 dots high by 5 dots wide. This is
the size of each character in the word EASY as it appears on the label.
<CR> - The carriage return (<CR>) signifies that this field is complete. The field
parameters that were not defined will accept the default values. A FO
(Field Orientation) and FJ (Field Justification) of 0 will place EASY to the
right of the X co-ordinate with a rotation of 0 degrees. CMX and CMY will
default to 1, so the character will be the size as defined by the font. The
TSN is 1, therefore we will print the entire EASY word (a TSN of 2 would
have printed ASY). CLX and CLY will default to 5 and 7, respectively, so a
full character will be printed.
