There are two ways to specify special characters in batch data:

uPlace a tilde (~) before the character

uUse a tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent

For example, you can use ~" or ~034 to print the " character in your batch data. Use ~~ to print the ~ character in your batch data; otherwise, the tilde character is ignored. You can also use ~XXX where XXX is the decimal equivalent of an unprintable character.

Sample Batch Data with Special Characters

2,"~094983~126LG4451" p }	~094 is ^	^983~LG4451

If a field is completely filled by data copied from other fields, use quotation marks without spaces between them for the "data string" parameter.

In incrementing fields, the first number in the sequence must contain the same number of digits as the highest number to be counted. For example, to increment the numbers in a field from 1 to 999, enter the starting number in the batch as 001.
