 +<note important> **Please Note: **

 +All of the fields you are using on your labels must not contain any special characters. Some of these special characters are commas, open and closing brackets () or {} or [], greater than and less than signs <>, pipes |, colons :, semicolons ;, and single or double quotes " or '. All these symbols mean specific things within a code based label, so having them in your part numbers, descriptions, and comment fields will cause issues with printing your code based labels.
 +
 +To try and clarify why this is so important, here is an example of a EPL II code based label for the Zebra label printers:

You will also notice that the entire word "Diaphragm" was carried down to the second line, instead of breaking it at 35 characters.

 +In this example we have also limited the number of characters per line to 35.
 +
 +If your label requires two separate description fields with word wrapping (say for a two part label or label with a tear-off section), you would use <DESCRIPTION#1> for the first description fields, and <DESCRIPTION#2> for the second description fields.
