O p t i o n 3 ( D a t a E n t r y Te m p l a t e s )

This option provides more specific restrictions than Option 2. This option can be used to select certain letters (such as A through F or the numbers 1 through 4) from a character set. You can also use this option to create a template of allowable characters for a field. Do not use with Option 2 (Data Type Restrictions).

Use this option only for offline batch entry. You can define a template up to 30 characters long, but the printer only displays 16 characters at a time. The character template must contain the same number of characters as the field.

Option 3 is only available on the 9403, 985x, and 9860 printers. You must use the 917 keypad or 939 keyboard for offline data entry.
