Defining Constant Text Fields
A constant text field is a set of fixed characters that prints on all
labels. Define each constant text field separately. This field is
not assigned a field number, but is counted as a field (keep this in
mind, as the printer allows a maximum of 1000 fields). The
characters in this field cannot be changed by batch data. Field
options do not apply to constant text fields.
Determine the height and the maximum width of the characters,
using the tables in Appendix B, "Fonts." If you’re using
proportionally spaced fonts, use the average size of the
characters. Mark the pivot point of your field. This will vary,
depending on how your field is justified.
