LAYOUT INPUT
Chapter —Program Instructions
Purpose Statement for starting the recording of a layout description (Intermec
Direct Protocol only).
Syntax LAYOUT INPUT
is the desired name of the layout (max. 30 characters) including
name of the device where the layout is to be stored.
Remarks This statement can only be used in the Intermec Direct Protocol and starts
the recording of a layout. All formatting instructions, such as PRPOS,
MAG, FONT, BARFONT, BARSET, PRTXT, PRBAR, PRIMAGE,
PRBOX, PRLINE, etc., which are transmitted to the printer on the
standard IN channel after a LAYOUT INPUT statement and before a
LAYOUT END statement, will be included in the layout.
Layouts cannot be created in "/c" (which by default is the current directory),
but must be created in the printer’s temporary memory ("tmp:"),
or possibly in a CompactFlash card ("card1:"). Once a layout has been
created in the temporary memory ("tmp:"), it can be copied to either "/c"
or "card1:" so it will not be lost at power-off or reboot.
Variable input data to text, bar code, and image fields can be provided
separately using a LAYOUT RUN statement. Such variable data are indicated
in the layout by string variables VARn$ where “n” is the number of
the field in the LAYOUT RUN string of data. For example, the statement
PRTXT "Hello" in the layout results in a fixed text, whereas the statement
PRTXT VAR1$ results in a variable text, which is provided by the first
field in a LAYOUT RUN string.
The layout must not contain any PRINTFEED statements. The layout will
not be saved until a LAYOUT END statement is executed.
Example In this example, the Intermec Direct Protocol is enabled, new separators
are specified, a layout is stored in "tmp:", data are combined with the
layout, and a label is printed. Finally, the Direct Protocol is disabled:
