Defining Non-Printable Text Fields

Non-printable text fields enable you to enter data without printing it in its entered form. Typically, non-printable fields "hold" data that will combine with other fields to form a merged field.

NOTE: Define non-printable text fields before you define the field that will print the information in these fields.

In the following example, the operator enters data into four non-printable fields. The format merges data from these fields to form field #5, then prints it as a bar code. Chapter 3, "Applying Field Options," tells how to merge fields.

Bar Code

Each non-printable text field requires a separate definition. Define the fields in the order you want to prompt the operator.

1.Define your format header if you have not already done so.

2.Find "Non-Printable Text Fields" on the Format Worksheet. Write a number between 1 and 14 to identify this field in box D2. Number fields in sequence from 1 to 14.

NOTE: Do not use any field number more than once in a format.
