13.1 GeBE_C32 FORMS AND FRAMES
In GeBE_C32 forms mode, the print image is first completely defined before the print is started with the command [GeBE #
EoT]. The print data are divided in rectangular areas, called frames, and they are placed in the printing area and rotated, if
required.
Position and length data are named in this document as follows:
–
X or Y when they relate to the coordinate system of the printing area
–
W and H if they relate to the coordinate system of the frame
Note for interested: Both cases are “left” systems.
When working in portrait mode, the front edge of the paper forms the X-axis of the printing area (see
system parameter
14,3
). Frames are swapped in the order of their definition. They can be opaque or transparent. An opaque frame which is
defined after another overlapping frame, will partly or even completely hide this.
In addition, you can specify that a frame should be displayed in negative print (white to black).
Depending on the type of contents other attributes may be specified, e.g. in case of text frames the alignment of the text
within the frame.
Each frame can be turned in 90° steps compared to the basic orientation of the ticket. The rotation is always performed
around the current cursor position, which determines the so called “origin of the frame” defined as left upper corner
(referring to the contents of the frame, not referring to the printing area!).
In many cases, the dimensions of the frames can automatically be determined. Thus the explicit specification of frame
width and height or alternatively the determination of its lower right corner is not necessary. When setting frame
dimensions, the data display exceeding the frame area will optionally be suppressed (clipping). The same applies to those
areas of a frame which exceed the printing area.
