T9. hgt mag

Height magnifier,

1-7

(times). Use a magnifier of

1

with

proportionally spaced fonts, because characters lose
smoothness at higher magnifications.

T10. wid mag

Width magnifier,

1-7

(times). Proportionally spaced fonts do

not have a set width. To estimate the size of your field, use
the letter "W" for the widest field or an "L" for an average
width field. Find your selected font and the desired width in
Appendix B, "Fonts."

T11. color

Options for standard printer fonts:

B

Opaque, Normal, Black, Normal

D

Opaque, Normal, White, Normal

O

Transparent, Normal, Black, Normal

R

Transparent, Normal, White, Normal

W

Opaque, Normal, White, Normal

NOTE:

Solid black print should not exceed 30% on a given
square inch of the label, or the printhead life may be
decreased.

There are two types of field color overlay attributes:
Transparent

The overlay field (text or constant text) does
not block out (or "erase") existing fields.

Opaque

The overlay field blocks out (or "erases")
existing fields.

Field placement in the packet is an important consideration
when using field color attributes. If a line field is defined
before the overlay (text or constant text) field, the line field is
blocked out by the overlay field, depending on the overlay
field’s color attribute. If a line field is defined after the overlay
field, the line field is not blocked out by the overlay field,
regardless of the overlay field’s color attribute.

Line field
blocked out by
opaque field
using attribute B

Line field not
blocked out by
transparent field
using attribute O
