Text, bar code, and image fields also require some input data: • Single-Line Text Field: Alphanumeric text • Multi-Line Text Field: Box size, alphanumeric text, horizontal offset, vertical offset, hyphenation specifications • Bar Code Field: Alphanumeric or numeric value (depending on type of code) • Image Field: Name of the image The input data to text and bar code fields may either be provided by the host, or be read from the printer's firmware, for example counter values or various data related to the printer's clock/calendar. In the Intermec Direct Protocol, you can either specify the fields both in regard of formatting parameters and input data in the same string, or you can create a layout to which you can send variable data later.

/. Refers to one-dimensional bar codes. Complex two-dimensional bar or dot codes may
have other formatting parameters.
Text, bar code, and image fields also require some input data:
• Single-Line Text Field: Alphanumeric text
• Multi-Line Text Field: Box size, alphanumeric text, horizontal offset,
vertical offset, hyphenation specifications
• Bar Code Field:
Alphanumeric or numeric value (depending
on type of code)
• Image Field:
Name of the image
°e input data to text and bar code fields may either be provided by the
host, or be read from the printer’s firmware, for example counter values
or various data related to the printer’s clock/calendar.
In the Intermec Direct Protocol, you can either specify the fields both in
regard of formatting parameters and input data in the same string, or you
can create a layout to which you can send variable data later.
