Contains the prompt displayed during data entry.
The maximum number of characters is 20.
In situations where the same data appears on all
labels, you can enter the repetitive data as fixed
data. The operator does not enter the data. The
maximum number of characters is 40; however,
each field has a maximum length defined, so the
fixed data must be below that maximum.
Fixed data is stored with the format and
automatically displayed with the prompt during data
entry. Fixed data can also be added before or
after entry characters.
An example of fixed data is the manufacturer's
code in a UPC-A bar code.
