-L Lines Definition

In the Label Definition section of the -L lines tab, you can define or modify the name and line number of a label. You can also specify the line skip or a page break after the line, at printing.

Label Definition

The -L Lines tab includes a table in which you organize the label lines on your current Report. It also includes a Label Definition section containing fields corresponding to the column cells which can be modified in the table. So you can either enter information on a selected label directly in the table or in this section. This page gives details on these fields and the values you can enter.

Label identifier
Enter the line number which is made of two characters maximum. It is advised to leave gaps in the numbering sequence to allow for future line insertions as necessary.
Page break - Line skip
The option selected in this field is used for paging and line spacing when generating the Report layout. The options available in the list of this field are presented in the following table:
Table 1. Page break/line skip options
Options Comments
*: Page skip A page break is generated on the line.
0: Overprinting Overprinting. This value is reserved for type 3800 layouts. It is interpreted as a single-line spacing in the layout description with formatting.
1: One line skip to 9: Nine lines skip Line spacing from single spacing (1) to 9x spacing (9) (1 is the default value).
Label
Here you can enter or modify the label. The length of the label is specified in the Definition tab of the Report.
Note: The maximum length is 264 characters.
Font
You can enter values in this field only if you have selected the option P : printer 3800 with font in the Type field on the Definition of the current Report. In this case, you must enter the character codes of the font.

Preview

Clicking Preview opens a window which shows a preview of the layout before you start generating. You can have a better idea of what the document looks like with its actual format, the position of its fields. In this window, you can view the page breaks, line skips, iterations, and totalization lines you have defined.
