DEFINING SPECIAL FIELDS
This chapter includes information about creating price and
system/date time fields. Create a separate definition for each price and
date/time field.
For price fields, you define the way your price appears in the printed format,
for example £98.00. You can configure the printer to print using: US
Dollars, French Francs, Spanish Pesetas, Belgian Francs, German Marks,
British Pounds, Euro-Dollars, Swedish Krona, Danish Marka, Austrian
Schilling, and Japanese Yen. See Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer” for
more information. For date/time fields, you define the way the system date
and time appear in the printed format, for example 10-15-01 4:00 PM.
NOTE: All samples shown in this chapter are created using 2.0-inch long by
2.0-inch wide supplies.
