INTRODUCTION

Fundamental to KodescriptPlus™ Programming is an understanding of:

1. the document layout including those elements which have a direct bearing on the Program

coding

2. how the Program coding is structured

3. how the Commands are formulated

4. the most frequent coding errors which inhibit the Program from functioning

5. the types of errors which cause the Program to function incorrectly

Each of these factors, including schematics where applicable, are discussed in the balance of this

section.

DOCUMENT LAYOUT

DIMENSIONS

The first element to be considered in laying out the document is to define its dimensions which

include:

1. the height of the form

2. the width of the first tag/label

3. the height of the first tag/label

These dimensions, when transmitted, permit the Controller to direct the Printer to position itself:

1. at the top of each page

2. at the left edge of each tag/label across the page

3. at the top of each tag/label down the page

Please refer to the document dimensions which follow

FORM HEIGHT

1. The distance from the top of the natural fold to the bottom of the natural fold

2. The form height is set either through the Touch Display Unit (TDU) on the Printer or through the

PC depending on which method is used to configure the Controller for the print data

3. Instructions for setting the form height using the TDU are contained in the applicable Printer

Operator’s Guide
