PPI/ZGL SETUP Submenus MC Label Fmt The ^MC command determines whether the printed label image should be retained for use in the immediately following label definition. The MC Label Fmt option determines the internal format to be used for storing the label image: list format or bitmap format. List Format (default). Works for most applications and should be used for applications where memory is sufficient. Bitmap Format. Should be used in applications where a large amount of data is sent

Chapter 1 PPI/ZGL SETUP Menu Left Position The ^LS command specifies a horizontal offset to be added to all label element positions. The Left Position option displays the value specified by the ^LS command and provides an alternative method for specifying the horizontal offset. The default is 0. Top Position The value of this option specifies a vertical offset to be added to all label element positions in dots per inch. For example, if the value is 3 and the current form length is 6 inches,

PPI/ZGL SETUP Submenus IS Label Format The ^IS command saves the printed label image by name for later recall as part of a label definition. The IS Label Fmt option determines the internal format to be used for storing the label image: list format or bit format. List Format (default). Should be used for most applications due to its greater efficiency of data process. Bitmap Format. Should be used in applications that frequently recall the saved label image, in which case the bitmap stora
