Pallet count:
Touch the
Pallet count
radio button and enter the number of items per pallet.
A pallet count is incremented or decremented every
n
items, where
n
is the number of
items per pallet.
Normally, a product count is increased or decreased by 1 after every print cycle. To
increase or decrease the count by a value other than 1 enter the value in the
+/-
box.
Touch the
OK
button to close the dia-
log box and insert the product count
into the print message. If the count is
not exactly where it should be, use
the arrow keys to reposition it. Press
Enter
when the count is at the
desired location.
Adding a variable field:
A variable
field is a text field whose contents may
change from use to use or print to print. The
data printed may be specified by the user, or
come through the COM1, COM2, or Ethernet
port.
To add a variable field to the print message,
move the crosshairs pointer to the desired
location and touch the
Variable Field
button;
the Insert Variable Field dialog box is dis-
played.

Select the data source:
User:
The user is prompted to enter the
data to be printed when the message is loaded to print.
Data 1 - Data 10:
Select Data 1 through Data 10 to use a common variable field in mul-
tiple locations. Data (1-10) can be selected and assigned a field name. This variable
field can be placed multiple times in a message. When the message is printed, the field
name will be prompted once for input, and will print the variable data in all locations
where Data (1-10) was placed. The field length must be set for each location, as the
font size can be changed for each data field. Up to ten different data fields can be
placed in multiple message locations.
COM1, COM2:
Select COM1 or COM2 when the data to be printed is from an external
device such as a scale or bar code scanner. Multiple variable fields can use COM1 or
COM2, but all will have the same information.
•
Enter a field name. The field name identifies which variable field gets what data when
User
or
Data
is selected as the data source. It is not required for COM1 or COM2. For
data variable fields, only one of each data lot can have a name.
•
Enter a maximum field length to reserve space within the print message for the variable
field.
