3-4 Packet Reference Manual
T11. color 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.
Options for standard printer fonts:
B Opaque, Normal, Black, Normal
D/R/W Opaque, Normal, White, Normal
O Transparent, Normal, Black, Normal
Options for scalable fonts:
A Opaque, Normal, Black, Bold
B Opaque, Normal, Black, Normal
E Opaque, Italics, Black, Bold
F Opaque, Italics, Black, Normal
N Transparent, Normal, Black, Bold
O Transparent, Normal, Black, Normal
S Transparent, Italics, Black, Bold
T Transparent, Italics, Black, Normal
Note: Solid black print should not exceed 30% on a given square inch of the
label, or the printhead life may be decreased.
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.
T12. alignment Alignment of text in the field. L is the default. Options:
L Align on left side of field
C Center text within field (monospaced fonts only)
R Align on right side of field (monospaced fonts only)
B Align at midpoint of field
E Align at endpoint of the field
Use L, B, or E for any font.
