Delimiters Tab |
The Delimiters tab, located on the Printer Code Template Setup dialog, defines the printer code template delimiters, which are used by a print system to parse the printer code template. The delimiters are replaced by the print system prior to printing.
The table lists each type of delimiter you can insert into the printer code template. The following fields are displayed:
Property. Provides a brief description of each type of delimiter, usually in terms of its location in the printer code template.
Value. Defines the value of each delimiter. This value will be inserted into the template file, so you must use a value your print system will be expecting. For example, if the print system expects lines in the printer code template to begin with the delimiter {SL} and end with the delimiter {EL}, then you should enter {SL} as the Start of Line delimiter, and {EL} as the End of Line delimiter.
Use the Header and Footer delimiters to specify the character(s), if any, that the print system expects to find at the very beginning and very end, respectively, of the template file.
Use the Start of Line and End of Line delimiters to specify the character(s), if any, that the print system expects to find at the beginning and end, respectively, of each line of the template file.
Use the Start Field Delimiter and End Field Delimiter to set the character (or set of characters) that immediately precede and immediately follow the template field names. For more information about template fields see the help for the General tab of the More Options dialog.
Use the Start Print Code and End Print Code to specify the character(s) (if any) that the print system expects to find at the beginning and end of passages of printer language code.
... Opens a Delimiter Value dialog in which you enter a delimiter value.
