Paxar Monarch 9412, Reference Manual

Page: 61 / 184

When you copy this field into another field, the maximum number
of characters for the final field is
2710 ( or 0-100 for 9403). Allow
only as many characters as you need, because extra characters
use up space. Also, if you are copying into a bar code field, the
maximum number of characters in the destination bar code is
determined by the bar code specification (UPCA-12, EAN-13,
etc.). You need to apply field options to manipulate the text
entered in this field. For example, you may want to copy data
from this field into another field. See "Option 4 Copy Data" in
Chapter 5 for more information.
In the following example, data is entered into four non-printable
fields and merged to form field 5, and is then printed as a bar
code. See "Merging Fields" in Chapter 5 for more information.
