Field Options
You can apply options to text, non-printable text, and bar code
fields. For example, you can format a field as a price. You
might also create a set of descriptive prompts to ask the
operator for the exact information for each field. Here are
some examples.
Fixed Characters
Fixed data prints automatically on every tag or supply, without
any input from the operator. You can specify fixed characters
for any text or bar code field.
Price Fields
You can design a price field so the printer generates the
monetary symbols. The operator only needs to enter numbers.
Sub-Fields
You can copy part of a field to a new location. The new
location is called a sub-field. For example, you can extract
part of the data in a bar code, such as a price, and display it in
text form in a sub-field.
Merged Fields
Merging combines information from up to four fields into one
field. You can merge any combination of text, non-printable
text, or bar code fields.
Operator Prompts
The printer normally prompts the operator for batch
information by field number. For example, the printer prompts
"Field 1:" when it is ready to accept data for field 1. You can
substitute a more descriptive prompt by applying a field option.
For example, you can define a prompt that says "Enter Price:"
if field 1 is a price field.
