Defining a Data Entry Prompt (Option 20)
The printer normally prompts the user for batch data by field
number, like this:
You can write a more descriptive prompt that asks the user for
the exact information for the field.
NOTE: This option is not recommended on fields filled
entirely by fixed characters or copied data.
1. Define your text or bar code field on the Format
Worksheet as shown in Chapter 2,
"Designing a Format."
2. Find Option 20 on the Format Worksheet. This
option creates a prompt.
3. In box R3 after 20, write the exact
phrase you want to use to
prompt the operator.
Make sure you write the prompt
in the same row as the field to
which it applies.
Place quotation marks around
the phrase, like this:
"Order Number:"
NOTE: The prompt should be 15 characters or fewer.
The operator will see this screen when ready to enter batch
data for this field.
Field 1:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Order Number:
