Table 8-3: Record Type Structure
In Table 8-3, 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 characters’
interpretations 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 Bit-Mapped Font,
Smooth Font, Scalable Font, and Image record types, it has other interpretations for Bar Code and
Graphics record types.
TheHeaderFields
Each of the fields in the record header is generally described below. Please reference the detailed
descriptions under Record Structure Types for variations. The field name titles of the following
paragraphs are preceded with a reference letter from Table 8-3. All characters sent to the printer
within the header fields are ASCII, alphanumeric.
a: Rotation
The first field of a header is a single ASCII character that selects the degree of rotation for the
data to be printed on a label. Valid rotation values are 1 (0º); 2 (90º); 3 (180º); and 4 (270º)
clockwise. Figure 8-1 shows the direction and amount of rotation clockwise, relative to the label
feed direction. The bottom left corner of the object is the pivot point.
b: Fonts, Bar Codes, Graphics and Images
The second field (b) determines how the rest of the fields are interpreted, as shown in the table
below. Values 0 through 9 select human-readable fonts. 0 through 8 will select standard Datamax
fonts, value 9 selects the CG Triumvirate smooth scalable font (internal) or scalable fonts. When
9 is used to select a scalable font, the font size (font I.D. number) is chosen by entering a value in
the height field eee.
