Batch data fields should be sent in field number order. Use continuation fields for large amounts of data. If you are using N (New) in the batch header, you must list all fields with your data in sequence. If you are using U, you need to list only those fields and data that changes from the last printed batch.

Syntax	field#,"data string" p
	C,"continuation" p
field#	Identifies the text, bar code, or non-printable text field in which to insert the
	following data. Range: 0 - 999.
“data string”	Provides the actual information to appear in fields. Enclose in quotation
	marks. Length: 0 - 2710 characters.
C	Optional. Identifies information to be appended to the data string.
“continuation”	Optional. Provides the actual information to be added to the batch packet.
	Enclose in quotation marks. Use this option to break up longer fields.
	Length: 0 - 2710 characters.
Example	1,"Size 12" p
	2,"" p
	3,"Blue" p
	C,"and this would be appended." p

Defines a batch data field. “Size 12" prints in field #1, a blank line appears in field #2, ”Blue and this would be appended" prints in field #3.

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

Place a tilde (~) before each character.

Use a tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent.
