I am maintaining a legacy application which prints product labels on packaging. The format of the label is stored in a INI file. I wanted to know if anyone has any hints about the meaning of this format. I have pasted a snippet here.

{D1531,1000,1501|} {C|} {U2;0130|} {D1531,1000,1501|} {AX;+000,+000,+00|} {AY;+05,0|} {PC000;0922,0555,15,15,H,11,B|} {RC00;<FE/>LABELTITLE</FE>|} {PC001;0865,0555,15,15,H,11,B|} {RC01;<FE/>CURRENT</FE>|} {PC002;0796,0040,10,10,H,11,B|}
