With Bar Codes
✦
Be careful when rotating or placing a UPC/EAN bar
code with human readable characters, because the
bottom reference point is at the bottom of the bars,
not
at the bottom of the human readable characters.
With Fields
✦
Data that remains the same for each label should be in
a constant text field. Data that varies for each label
should be in a text field.
✦
Scalable fonts perform better in constant text fields,
because those fields are imaged only once per batch,
not once per label as in text fields.
✦
Check for trailing spaces in text or constant text fields
if you receive a "field off tag" error. An easy way to
see trailing spaces is to print the field in the reverse
font.
✦
Make sure if you magnify a field, it does not go off the
label or cover another field. Magnifying a field
increases the distance between the printed character
and the edge of the cell.
Advanced Use of the Optional Entry Method–––––––––––––––––––
You can optimize format packets by using the optional entry
method. With this method, you use commas for parameters
that do not change from their previous setting.
Two sample formats are shown: the first is a standard format,
the second shows the optional entry method used on the
standard format.
n
Using this method on format packets can be confusing, so be
sure you thoroughly understand the parameters of each field
first. The fields do not need to be in numerical order, but that
helps in troubleshooting your format.
