Using Option 4 (Copy Data) - Avery Dennison ADTP1 Reference Manual

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. Copy the information from multiple fields into one field by applying the copy
procedure more than once. Copy data is the only option that can be applied to a field more than
once.
The maximum number of characters defined in T3 (# of char) or B3 (# of char) must allow
for the number of characters that will be placed in the field, including any price, check digit, or
fixed characters inserted by the printer. The maximum number of characters in the field into
which data is copied cannot exceed 2710 or the maximum number of characters permitted by the
bar code.
Note: When copying from more than one field, copy into the destination field from left to right.
Option 4 can be applied to an RFID Data Field.
