Format |
Enter the format you want to use for this item on the label. Keep in mind that you will want each row in this grid in a different location on the label. The BARCODE value indicates the position and size of the barcode on the label. Only one field should use this value. The STRING value indicates the font size and placement of each field on the label. The first number is the font size (3X5, 8X8, and so on). The second and third numbers determine the position on the label (0 0, 10 17, 125 30, and so on). The second is the distance from the left edge of the label and the third number is the distance from the top of the label. If you set a field to 10 17, that item will display 10 positions from the left and 17 from the top of the label. Refer to your Barcode Blaster documentation for details on how you should set this up. |
Lgth |
Enter the character length of each field on the label. |
Code |
Enter the type of information that should print on the label. Enter B for the barcodes, C for character fields, and $ for currency fields. |
Rtl |

Most often, only the Retail field would be excluded from the printed label when the Ourprice value is equal to or greater than the Retail value. |
