  • Page 80: Using Option 1 (Fixed Data)

    U s i n g O p t i o n 1 ( F i x e d D a t a ) Fixed data is information (a company name or store number) to print on all labels. Define fixed characters for an entire field or for part of a field.

    U s i n g O p t i o n 3 ( D a t a E n t r y T e m p l a t e s ) This option provides more specific restrictions than Option 2. This option can be used to select certain letters (such as A through F or the numbers 1 through 4) from a character set.

  • Page 82: Using Option 4 (Copy Data)

    U s i n g O p t i o n 4 ( C o p y D a t a ) Use option 4 to create a field that uses data from another field. This is useful for creating merged fields or sub-fields.

  • Page 83: Merging Fields

    Merging Fields Copy data to merge the contents of fields. Use the copy data option as many times as necessary to copy all the appropriate fields into the merged field. RFID Data Fields can be merged. In the following example, two text and two non-printable fields are shown. Data from these fields is merged to form field 5, and is then printed as a bar code.

  • Page 84: Using Option 6 (Upload Field Data)

    U s i n g O p t i o n 6 ( U p l o a d F i e l d D a t a ) Upload data from any field using Option 6. When uploading multiple fields of data, the data is comma separated.

    U s i n g O p t i o n 2 1 ( D e f i n e E x t e n d e d F i e l d N a m e s ) This option defines names for each field in a format, which can be longer than eight characters. This option is only available on the XML-enabled printer.

  • Page 87: Using Option 31 (Calculate Check Digit)

    U s i n g O p t i o n 3 1 ( C a l c u l a t e C h e c k D i g i t ) The printer generates a check digit when Option 31 is applied to the field. Do not use this option if the field contains a UPC, EAN, or Code 39 (with the MOD43 check digit) bar code.

  • Page 88: Using Option 50 (Bar Code Density)

    U s i n g O p t i o n 5 0 ( B a r C o d e D e n s i t y ) Apply this option to bar code fields to create custom densities. This option overrides the density value in the bar code field.

    U s i n g O p t i o n 6 0 ( I n c r e m e n t i n g / D e c r e m e n t i n g F i e l d s ) Applications such as serial numbers require a numeric field to increment (increase in value) or decrement (decrease in value) on successive labels within a single batch.

  • Page 92: Fixing The First Number In The Incrementing Sequence

    Fixing the First Number in the Incrementing Sequence There are two ways to enter the first number in the incrementing sequence. Use batch data or Option 1 to define the first number as a fixed character. The first number in the sequence must contain the same amount of digits as the highest number to be counted.

  • Page 93: Using Check Digits

    U s i n g C h e c k D i g i t s Check digits are typically used to ensure that a text or bar code field scans correctly. The printer calculates a check digit when Option 31 is applied. A check digit scheme determines how the printer calculates a check digit.

    MaxiCode Compression Sample Once the data is properly encoded per the compressed format, the UPS scanners and software do the translating of the compressed data when reading the symbol. Our printers take the input data as-is and encode it as a standard MaxiCode symbol. Standard scanners interpret the encoded data exactly as it appears in the symbology without decompressing its contents.
