^FPField Parameter
^FP configures field Parameter. It applies to the current field and can change pixels in the rendered label.
ZPLr compatibility note
- Vertical and reverse layout operates on Unicode code points rather than firmware combining semantic clusters.
A representative output
This compact example is selected because the visible result clearly demonstrates ^FP.
Recommended rendered sample
Uses ^FP in a compact label where its visible effect is easy to inspect.

^XZdDirection
Sets direction. It can be omitted when the documented default is suitable.

H- Required
- No
HVRd variations
Compare values side by side; other parameters remain at representative defaults.
d = H
Uses H for direction while the other command values stay at representative defaults.
