Information Fields Description
Label A title for the user insert that is displayed when an operator
starts printing the message.
Number of
Characters The total number of characters required for the insert. With
this number, the software designates a place in the
controller’s memory for the insert data. (For a
UCC/EAN-128 bar code, you set this number after you
select AI 00 or AI 01.)
Default Data Default data is added to the message you are creating to
represent the user insert. The default data also designates
the total amount of space allowed for the insert. Different
letters occupy different amounts of space. For example, i’s
occupy less space than W’s. (All numbers use the same
space.)
If the default data does not reserve enough space in the
message, the last characters of the insert might not print. It
is recommended that you enter all W’s as the Default data to
reserve the maximum amount of space. Make sure the
number of W’s in the Default data field matches your entry in
the Number of Characters field.
