F19: DSPPFM
This function works like F18, but prompts the commands DSPPFM for displaying
the spool entry as a physical file. This is useful for revealing reprinted lines
(bolding), which is not displayed with F18 DSPSPLF.
Remember to subtract the first 4 positions containing SKIP/SPACE information,
when calculating coloumn positions in the DSPPFM view..
Considerations for Zebra overlays
G NOTE G
Creation of ZPL output in InterForm400 requires purchase of the ZPL module or the
classic package.
For overlays intended to be used for label printers the Design Overlay screen will look
like this:
Design ZEBRA overlay ZEB300D
Overlay name TEST
Overlay text _______________________________________________
Label length __.000
Label width __.000
Temperature _0_ -30 - 30
Print speed 2 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 inches/second
Line spacing 040___ in 1/240 of an inch (*INPUT, 1-720)
Rotation 000___ (*INPUT, 0, 90, 180, 270)
Font 0012__ *INPUT, fontnumber F4=List
Copy management Y (Y N)
F3=Exit F4=Prompt F11=Delete this overlay F12=Cancel
F13=Set print parameters
The especially Zebra related parameters are:
Label length/width:
The length and width of the labels to print on.
Temperature: The temperature to use for the printing head. This number is a relative
value (-30 to 30) for the temperature to use for the print head of the
Zebra printer. This value will be added to the Darkness value specified
on the printers display. That is if Darkness is 10 and temperature is 5 the
actual Darkness value for merges with this overlay will be 15. If the sum
of temperature and Darkness is outside the range 0-30 the nearest
value is used.
Print speed: Specify the printing speed in number of inches per second. Note, that
the highest possible print speed varies from one model to another.
J TIP J
If you want to insert text, frames or images in reverse i.e. white on black background
you can do it by first adding a frame with black filling (=pattern) and then place the text or
