Chapter 6 - Designing Bar Code Labels Specifying Text for Printing with PRTXT Text for a single- or multi-line text area can be entered in the form of numeric expressions and/or string expressions. Two or more expressions can be combined using semicolons (;) or, in case of string expressions, by plus signs (+). String constants must be enclosed by quotation marks ("..."). Variables are useful for printing for example time, date, or various counters, and when the same information is to appear in several places, for example both as plain text and as bar code input data. Defining Borders With PRBOX Single- or multi-line text fields can be created using an extension of the PRBOX statement. The PRBOX statement allows you to specify the height, width, and line thickness of a box in which the text will be printed. Depending on the line thickness, the box is invisible (thickness = 0) or has a black border line (thickness >0). Additional parameters allows you to position the text inside the box, decide the line spacing, and control the hyphenation. Note that the anchor point choice affects the positioning of the text inside the box. For information, see "About Insertion and Anchor Points" on page 76. When a text line reaches the border of the box, it wraps to a new line according to the hyphenation settings. For more information, see the Fingerprint Command Reference Manual. Summary for Text Fields To print a single- or multi-line text field, the following information must be specified. If no value is specified, Fingerprint uses the default values.
