Check-in label development

Has anyone dived into the Zebra label format?  The designer is helpful for inserting images, etc but fairly limited for text options.  

I'm trying to insert a multi-line field that wraps automatically.  According to the Zebra manual, ^TB is preferred over ^FB but I can't get the field to wrap.

    Update: I can't post links to Jon E's comment so I'm posting this as a separate answer.

    I found this site which allowed me to standardize all my margins without using the ZPL Designer.

    Here is the code order I've found, given a sample text field:
    ^FT25,85^A0N,80,80^FH\^FDNickName^FS

    ^FT - Field type of Text

    25 - Left margin offset

    85 - Top margin offset

    ^AON - Font designation (CG Triumvirate)

    80 - Font height

    80 - Font width

    ^FH - Not used

    ^FD - Field name

    ^FS - Field separator (end of line)

    We had the same issue when we made the labels that ship with Rock. I kept some notes on what was what. I always meant to document this for the community, but never found the time. Here's what I have.  Hope it helps:

    • ^FB = Field Block - allows you to print text into a defined block type format
    • ^FT = Field Typeset - sets the field position relative to the home position of the label
    • ^FD = Field Data - defines the data string for the field
    • ^FH = Field Hexadecimal Indicator - allows you to enter hexadecimal value directly into the ^FD (don't worry about this one)
    • ^A = The font designator

    ^FB330,4,0,L^FT68,250^A0N,23,24^FH\^FD5^FS     --- Field block width of 330 dots, 4 lines high, 0 add/delete dots between lines, left justified

      That's super helpful, I added a few comments below. I gave up on ^TB for multi-lines since it never worked (^FB works great).
