Right alignment using ZPL code for text printed at 270 degre(Bottom up 1

[brreddy]

Hi,

I am having trouble in aligning the printed text with right alignment when I print text at 270 degrees(Read from Bottom Up). All the lines of the text is aligned left but would like to get right alignment.
Here is the code
^XA^ID*.FNT^XZ
^XA^MSN^XZ
^XA^JVN^XZ
^XA^MCY^XZ
^XA^LH000,000^LL900^FWN^LRN^FS
^FO1,1^AA^FD ^FS
^FO60,40^A0N,20,50^CI0^FD51212^FS
^FO160,65^BY3,0.0,50^B7I,13,0,0,4,Y^FD51212^FS
^FO30,130^GB275,330,3^FS
^FO45,145^A0B,28,28^CI0^FDCONC: 1 mg/ml^FS
^FO75,145^A0B,28,32^CI0^FDAPI: 604524 #2,3^FS
^FO105,145^A0B,28,28^CI0^FDTEST1^FS
^FO135,145^A0B,28,28^CI0^FDVEHICLE TEST2^FS
^PQ1^MCN^XZ
The text gets printed like this at 270 (Read bottom up)
Conc: 1 mg/ml
API: 604524 #2,3
TEST1
VEHICLE TEST2


Thanks,
Reddy

Maybe this will help???
take alook at my FAQ on using Zebra Barone Lite to create your label

You should read DougP's FAQ. Printing the label layout to a text file and cutting that information into my program saved me a lot of time.
On the right just issue. I had to right just the data before sending it to the label layout. I'm pulling from a SQL data base so I tried

select ltrim(lab_sqty) from table

that did not work for me but it might work for you.

What I ended up doing was padding the data after I go it into the program. Here is the code that I used.

Lab_sQTY = Lab_sQTY.PadLeft(8, " ")

If there is a way to mark the field property as right justified I have not found it.

Good Luck
Tom

DougP,

I am able to print to the networked Zebra Printer without any problem. The problem I am having is with the alignment of the printed text when printed at 270 degrees (read bottom up).
The text gets printed like this at 270 (Read bottom up)
Conc: 1 mg/ml
API: 604524 #2,3
TEST1
VEHICLE TEST2

I would like this to be printed like this when printed at 270 degrees

Conc: 1 mg/ml
API: 604524 #2,3
TEST1
VEHICLE TEST2

Lets back up for a minute.
How are you generating the strings
In VB6 ? or something
^FO105,145^A0B,28,28^CI0^FDTEST1^FS
or say there are max 10 characters you can have
^FO105,145^A0B,28,28^CI0^FD[red]1234567890[/red]^FS
or this becomes
This a VB6 or VBA code

FieldForTest1 = Space(10-Len(YourData)) & YourData
^FO105,145^A0B,28,28^CI0^FD" & FieldForTest1 & "^FS

So not matter how many characters you have coming in it pads the correct amount of space on the right side.
as 'TLeaders' said.

I don't think there is any other way to do it other than manipulate the data before you insert into the ZPL code.
