Step 4: Add some dynamic text
Dynamic text, unlike static text, can change every time a print is made. To do so requires that
the scanner be running in dynamic mode (i.e. the Overlay Monitor is open and active and the
scanner is connected to the PC). Adding dynamic text is very similar to adding static text with
the exception that all static text is pre formatted. For this example let’s add a dynamic date
field. Open the text input box window using either the menu bar or
the icon. Click the Clear button if there is still text in the text box.
Now click on the >> button to the immediate right of the text box. A
large list of preformatted dynamic strings will appear. Find the “
Date

” field and select it. You should now see the current
day; month and year appear in the text input box. Select the Font
button to make sure our font setting match the previous text (20 point
