4.8 Reverse Video
The printer has the ability to produce Reverse Video by printing white text over a black
background. Two methods are used to produce this effect. The advantages and
disadvantages are covered in greater detail in the following two sections.
4.8.1 Reverse Video
The first method (Reverse Video) is to place text over a black box created with line draw.
When the label format defines print at the same coordinate twice the printer will not print
creating a reverse print effect when the Attribute Number (AN) is set to “1” for the Label
Format Fields defining the line draw and the text fields. The size of the box is not defined
by the text. Adjustment to the size of the box must be made by adjusting the line draw
coordinates.
