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 to 2710.
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 4 and 5. 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.
