Creating Sequential Database Files
The printer requires a comma-delimited ASCII sequential or flat file to
use the database option. Create the sequential file using nine comma-
delimited fields.
NOTE: Although formats may not require all of the fields, separate
each field with a comma even if the field is blank.
The nine fields include the following:
1. bar code - numeric or alphanumeric (UPC-A, EAN+5, UPC+2,
Code 39, and Code 128 can be supported.)
2. item number - numeric only
3. description 1 - alphanumeric (general information field)
4. description 2 - alphanumeric(general information field)
5. price - numeric only (decimal automatically inserted for cents)
6. lot number - numeric only
7. date - numeric only (entered with or without slashes)
8. user 1 - alphanumeric (used for NOW price field)
9. user 2 - alphanumeric (used for VENDOR or DEPT field)
For the maximum size of each field, see the individual formats.
