Creating a Price Field (Option 42)
You can apply options to automatically insert monetary
symbols, so the operator only needs to enter numbers.
1. Define your text field on the
Format Worksheet as shown
in Chapter 2, "Designing a
Format." Remember
This option is not
recommended for bar codes.
When determining the maximum number of characters,
add the maximum number of digits and the proper
monetary symbols.
2. Find Option 42 on the Format Worksheet. This option
turns a text field into a price field.
3. Write 1 in box R3 after 42. This is an
appearance code for price fields.
Make sure you enter the price code
in the same row as the text field to
which it applies.
The printer prints price symbols based
on country settings selected on the printer.
See your
Operator’s Handbook
to
select country settings.
