Defining Non-Printable Text Fields
Non-printable text fields enable you to enter data without
printing it in its entered form. Typically, non-printable fields
"hold" data that will combine with other fields to form a merged
field.
NOTE: Define non-printable text fields before you define
the field that will print the information in these
fields.
In the following example, the operator enters data into four
non-printable fields. The format merges data from these fields
to form field #5, then prints it as a bar code. Chapter 3,
"Applying Field Options," tells how to merge fields.
Field # Prompt Data Field Type
1 SKU: 20374 Non-printable
2 DEPT: 339 Non-printable
3 SIZE: 8 Non-printable
4 COLOR: 15 Non-printable
5 none 20374339815 Bar Code
Each non-printable text field requires a separate definition.
Define the fields in the order you want to prompt the operator.
1. Define your format header if you have not already done so.
2. Find "Non-Printable Text Fields" on the Format Worksheet.
Write a number between 1 and 14 to identify this field in
box D2. Number fields in sequence from 1 to 14.
NOTE: Do not use any field number more than once in a
format.
