Using Field Types
Fields may contain
• text
• bar codes
• lines
• graphics.
Text Fields
Text fields include letters, numbers, and special printing and non-printing
characters. A field can contain up to 200 characters. When creating a text field,
specify which font to use. You can use one of several printer-resident fonts or one
of your own.
If a character is not in the font the printer is using, the printer prints a space in
place of the character. See “Font Download,” in Chapter 3 for information about
downloading other fonts. Also, see “Library Management,” in Chapter 3 for
information about deleting fonts.
