How to write vertical or rotated text?

[former_member1330258]

Hi all,

I'm working on a smart form and I have to write a text 90 degrees rotated.

How can I do that? I have searched on the internet and can't find an answer.

In addiditon, I'm using a Zebra printer so I have ZPL commands but I don't know where to write ZPL commands in Smart Forms.

Any idea may be helpful,

Thanx for now.

Hi Taner,

I am not sure, if we have a provison to add texts vertically in the Zebra bar-one or painter software. Incase you are able to do that and if you generate the text file with the Code, then you can go to smartforms and open the editor of Smartform window in the Old Editor format and you enter the code.

Else you will have to create Bitmap file which is vertically alligned using any image editor software and then you wil have to upload it to smartform as a Logo file.

I should not create bitmap images because my text is going to be dynamic.

Whlile writing in smart forms, I used old text editor and I wasn't able to write text vertical or rotated.

Maybe, I coded in the wrong way.

For example: I coded like:

/ ^XA

/ ^FO100,50

/ ^FPV,10

/ ^AV

/ ^FDVerticalFS

/ ^XS

However it didn't work.

I have a document and it says ;

Attribute name: Attribute value:

S_LZPL_SETUP '^FWR'

The LZPL printer driver sends the ^FWR command to the printer at the beginning of the label and causes a rotation of the output fields.

I used that command and all of my text in my smart form became vertical. I want some texts to become vertical or rotated.

I'm still open to hear any idea.

Hello Taner,

We need to make use of MS paint to print the text vertically.

Go to MS paint and created a logo of ur vertical text and upload this logo in ur form.
