To fill in the non-fixed portion of the field, see "Defining Batch
Data Fields" in Chapter 6. As an alternative, you can apply
Option 4 to copy data into the non-fixed character positions.
Option 2 (Data Type Restrictions)
This option restricts the data type for a particular field. You can
use Options 2 or 3 only once per field. Do not use with Option 3
(Data Entry Templates).
Option 2 is only available on the 9403, 9835,
9840, and 9850 printers. You must use the
Monarch
917
keypad with the 9835, 9840,
or 9850 printer for offline data entry.
If you do batch entry only in the batch packet, you do not need to
apply Options 2 and 3. Use these options only for offline batch
entry.
