Option 1 (Fixed Data) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Fixed data is information (a company name or store number)
you want to print on all labels. You can define fixed
characters for an entire field or for part of a field.
Syntax
R,1,"fixed char"
p
R1 . R Option Header.
R2. 1 Option 1 .
R3. fixed char Characters to insert. Enclose in quotation marks. If you
are defining fixed characters for part of a field, place
underscores (_) in non-fixed positions. Any spaces in the
phrase are fixed characters. Range:
0 - 2710 .
NOTE: Underscore characters are stripped out and the
data is compressed if no data is supplied by the
batch and the field length is variable.
Example
R,1,"_ _ _%$_ _ _ _ _"
p
Uses fixed characters (%$) in positions four and five. The
other positions are variable.
Example
R,1,"MONARCH"
p
"MONARCH" appears as a fixed field in this example.
To fill in the non-fixed portion of the field, see "Defining Batch
Data Fields" in Chapter 6. As an alternative, you can apply
Option 4 to copy data into the non-fixed character positions.
