Figure 4-4 Label Format Field Elements
4.6.1 TSN (Text String Number)
TSN
, XB, YB, CC, TCI, CGN, FO, FJ, CMX, CMY, CS, TSP,,, AN
The parameter determines which line of text data will be used for formatting. This allows for
more than one field to use the same text data. A TSN of “1” accesses the first line of data.
A TSN of “2” accesses the second line of data, and so forth. The text data is the text that
follows the “^D2<CR>” command in the label’s layout. A graphic image field must point to a
text string that contains at least one character. The maximum value for a TSN is 65536.
4.6.2 XB (X Beginning Coordinate)
TSN,
XB
, YB, CC, TCI, CGN, FO, FJ, CMX, CMY, CS, TSP,,, AN
The X coordinate of the field is measured in thermal dots. The far left edge of the print
head, as viewed from the front of the printer, is X coordinate “1”. There is no X coordinate
of “0”. The X coordinates increase in size from the left to right. An XB of 300 would place
the field one inch from the left side of the print head. Any offsets required for media that is
not as wide as the print head must be manually entered for the XB or the OFX header
element may be used.
