1-8 LNT Programmer’s Manual
LNT Design Tips
When creating LNT files, keep in mind the following:
♦ The printer uses standard Windows fonts; however, additional fonts can be downloaded to
the printer. See “
Installing Fonts” for more information.
♦ If setting a value for the font’s pointsizeheight and setting the pointsizewidth to 0, the
printed characters will have an optimal aspect ratio of character height-to-width.
♦ Use zeros to let the printer determine the width and height for the <BoundingBox> tag.
♦ If using the wordwrap attribute on a text field, you must specify the width attribute in the
<BoundingBox> tag.
♦ Not all field attributes should be used on the same field – for example, do not use wordwrap
with either the underline or the strikethrough attributes.
♦ While designing and testing LNT files, we recommend setting the printer to show error
messages for fields printing off the label. See “
Enabling the “Field Off Tag” Warning” for
more information.
Check these settings if a field prints off the label:
♦ x,y points
♦ origin point
♦ justification
♦ field rotation
