Field Class

Choices include simple, price, system date/time,

 

and combo. For bar codes, select either simple or

 

combo. Combo (combination) fields are explained

 

later in this chapter. Simple fields are the most

 

commonly used.

Field Prompt

Contains the prompt displayed during data entry.

 

The maximum number of characters is 20.

Using Fixed Data

In situations where the same data appears on all

 

labels, you can enter the repetitive data as fixed

 

data. The operator does not enter the data. The

 

maximum number of characters is 40; however,

 

each field has a maximum length defined, so the

 

fixed data must be below that maximum.

 

Fixed data is stored with the format and

 

automatically displayed with the prompt during data

 

entry. Fixed data can also be added before or

 

after entry characters.

 

An example of fixed data is the manufacturer’s

 

code in a UPC-A bar code.
