Paxar 9401 Printer User Manual


 
3. Applying Field Options
Field options enable you to manipulate fields to display
information correctly with minimal effort by the operator.
You can apply options to most text, non-printable text, or bar
code fields. Field options are not required for any format, but
you can use them to simplify batch entry and add flexibility to
formats.
You can format a text field to display as a price, for example.
You can also create a set of prompts so the operator knows
what information to enter.
Certain combinations are not recommended. For example, it
is not recommended to format a bar code as a price field.
This chapter tells how to accomplish various tasks with field
options. See Chapter 11, "Online Information," for a complete
functional listing of the field options available for 9401 and
9402 printers.
"Field Options" is in the upper-right section of the Format
Worksheet. See the example that follows.
