The record structure is shown for each of the record types. The left-most column
shows the locations of all characters in the record, and corresponds to the example
above the table.
Each record structure interprets the characters of the record in its own way, though
some of the interpretations of the characters are identical across all record types. For
example, the characters ffff are interpreted as Row Position in all record types. While c
is a Width Multiplier for Internal Bitmapped Font, Smooth Font, Scalable Font, and
Image record types, it has other interpretations for Barcode and Graphics record
types.
The table below defines the allowed values and their meanings for each field type.
