Example 9
So far, all of our examples have contained only one field. Most pri
nt jobs are much more complex and contain multiple
fields. To include multiple fields in a single print job, simple add additional fields after the PRINT command and before the
closing brace. The fields can be listed in any row order, the printer will wait until it receives all data before forming the
image and printing. Before it begins, the printer will re-order the data so it is printed in proper sequence. For example,
the following print job will print a box with the word “HI!” inside. The line fields use both the long form of the LENGTH and
THICK as well as the short form. The HI! Is multiplied by 4 in both the horizontal and vertical direction to give large
characters. A global STOP parameter is used to stop printing at approximately 2” (400 dotlines). And the image is printed
in landscape mode (ROT270).

As one final example, the following label shows how a moderately complex label
might be put together. This uses several
fonts as well as global and field rotation.
