84 Chapter 5: Creating label formats for printing VCode User Guide About label formats and the label editor Introduction Label formats and the label editor are defined and described in “Bar code terminology” on page 18. This topic provides additional information needed to successfully work with label formats in PlateTag . Label format storage and uploading For a label format to be used to print a label, it must be stored in the printer. The printer can store up to 19 formats, numbered 1–19. If the format you want to use is not currently stored in the printer, you will have to upload it to the printer. Label formats can also be stored on a drive, such as a computer hard drive or CD-ROM. However, before you can use a format stored on a drive, you must first load it into PlateTag and then upload it to the printer. Current format field You should be clear about the meaning of the current format list box in the label editor of PlateTag, which is sometimes misunderstood. The current format does not indicate the format of the label that is currently displayed in the Label Editor group box. It shows the format that will be affected if you click one of the following four buttons at the bottom of the label editor: ❑ Save format to disk ❑ Load format from disk ❑ Upload format to printer ❑ Print test label Label field data and label editor group boxes There are two large group boxes on the Label editor page of PlateTag. The Label Field Data group box displays the data used for each field on the label. The Label Editor group box allows you to drag fields around and preview where fields will be printed on the actual label.
Chapter 5: Creating label formats for printing VCode User Guide 85 X and Y fields The X and Y columns in the Label Field Data group box contain the x- and y-coordinates of the top, left corner of each field as it is positioned in the Label Editor group box. When the format is uploaded to the printer, the software transfers these coordinates to printer label coordinates. Label field data The Label field data includes the columns listed in the following table. Most of the data appears automatically when creating a format. Parameter Index Field Type Value Format X Description The number of the field. !! IMPORTANT !! Field 1 must be a text field. Text, Barcode, or Bitmap. Note: Bitmap is not currently supported. The value of the present field. If the field is a text field, the value is the actual text that will be printed during a test print in VCode Diagnostics. If the field is a bar code field, the value is the actual text that is encoded into the bar code for a test print in VCode Diagnostics. Note: This data is not used during a production labelling run through PlateTag. Assigns the text font or bar code symbology, depending on whether the field is a text field or a bar code field. The x-coordinate of the top, left corner of the field as positioned in the printer.
