________________________________________________________________________

Make sure data entered in the sequential file is appropriate for the formats you are using. For example, you cannot print formats using EAN+5 bar codes if the sequential file contains only UPC-A bar codes.

If you use one file for several formats, make sure the data matches the combined requirements for all formats selected. For example, if you want to use Formats 1-4, the sequential file must include all fields required by Format 3 since that format requires the most data. In this case, the data stream

028028111119,,Toothpaste,,239,,,45342, could be used by Formats 1-4.

NOTE: You must save this file to data.txt or you cannot download successfully.

For individual formats and their contents, see “Selecting Database

Formats.”
