+ | ====== TEXT WRAPPING ... NEW FEATURE WITH SYSTEM FIVE VERSION 6.1.x.x ===== | ||
+ | We have added a new feature for code based labels starting with Version 6.1.0.1 of System Five. We are now able to wrap the information in a text field (like DESCRIPTION) into multiple lines on the code based labels. | ||
+ | In order to achieve this we had to create a new text field called DESCRIPTION# | ||
+ | Here is an example of a 2 across 2x1 inch TEC label that shows how this DESCRIPTION# | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | {D0286, | ||
+ | {C|} | ||
+ | {D0286, | ||
+ | {AX; | ||
+ | {AY;+00,0|} | ||
+ | {XB00; | ||
+ | {RB00;< | ||
+ | {PC001; | ||
+ | {RC001;< | ||
+ | {PC000; | ||
+ | {RC000;< | ||
+ | {PC002; | ||
+ | {RC002;< | ||
+ | {PC003; | ||
+ | {RC003;< | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | {XB01; | ||
+ | {RB01;< | ||
+ | {PC005; | ||
+ | {RC005;< | ||
+ | {PC004; | ||
+ | {RC004;< | ||
+ | {PC006; | ||
+ | {RC006;< | ||
+ | {PC007; | ||
+ | {RC007;< | ||
+ | {XS; | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Notice that we still need to tell it when to wrap the text. To do this we added ", | ||
+ | |||
+ | We have also integrated additional functionality into this new field to enable it to recognize spaces in the description, | ||
+ | |||
+ | So as an example, a part with the description " | ||
+ | using: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | {PC006; | ||
+ | {RC006;< | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | would be truncated down to: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | Brother MFC-XXXX USB & | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The same example " | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | {PC006; | ||
+ | {RC006;< | ||
+ | {PC007; | ||
+ | {RC007;< | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Would print: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | Brother MFC-XXXX USB & | ||
+ | | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
