You must be careful where you place a field on a format to ensure it does not go off the format. There are two ways this can occur. You have placed the field

♦on the format, but based on its maximum length, it may go off the edge.

This way causes the software to display a warning, which you can ignore. See Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer,” to learn how to suppress the display of warnings if you prefer to do so.

♦completely off the format.

This way causes an error. You must redefine the field.

NOTE: Remember that the field can go off the format on any of the four sides (top, bottom, left, right).

See Chapter 12, “Troubleshooting,” to learn about this error and warning.
