94 Chapter 5: Creating label formats for printing VCode User Guide Positioning a field on the label Introduction This topic describes how to move a field to the position in which you want it to be printed on the label. You position the field in the label editor, and the position is transferred to the printer. About the position coordinates The origin of the printer’s dot scale is at the bottom left of the label, just like the origin of a typical line graph. y-axis Field1 Field2 Field3 0, 0 x-axis An X-value of 100 means that the left edge of the printed field will be printed 100 ink dots from the left side of the label. A Y-value of 100 means that the top edge of the printed field will be printed 100 ink dots from the bottom of the label. The printer prints approximately 400 dots per inch. When you download a label format from the printer, some fields displayed in the Label Editor group box may shift position slightly. This does not affect the format stored in the printer or the printed output. Before you start Before you can perform this procedure, VCode Diagnostics must be open. Procedure To position a field on the label: 1. Click the text or bar code in the Label Editor group box and drag it to the appropriate position on the label. To position it more accurately you can change the values for the X and Y coordinates directly in the Label Field Data group box. Next step The next step in the workflow for designing and using a new label format is “Changing the size of a field on the label” on page 95.

You do this when designing a label format. You might increase the size of a text field to make it easier to read. You might decrease the size of a bar code or text field to fit more data on a label. Magnification dimensions You specify separately the magnification in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) dimensions. Bar code magnification You can magnify a bar code field by any amount, but: ❑ If the magnification is too great, the bar code will not fit on the label ❑ If the magnification is too small, you may not see a bar code printed on the label at all, or you may just see a thin line of dots and dashes. Good values to start with are 2 in the horizontal dimension and 50 in the vertical dimension. Text magnification In a text field, different fonts can be magnified by different amounts. Often, the magnification limit is different for the horizontal and vertical dimensions. Before you start Before you can perform this procedure, VCode Diagnostics must be open. Procedure To change the magnification of a field: 1. In the Label Field Data group box, click on the H Mag or V Mag number for the field. The row is highlighted. 2. Click on the number once more. The value can now be edited.
