eliminating the data from being entered by an operator more than once.
These are also known as merged fields. Each combo field can pull data from
up to 10 different fields. Combo fields have three parameters:
Field Number
Starting Position
Number of Digits
to use
5-10 Defining Text Fields
5. Press the trigger to print another label or press

label.
Field number from which data is copied.
For example, 3 is field #3.
Position number in the source field of the first character to
be copied. Character positions are numbered 1 to 99,
starting from the left. For example, 1 is the character in
the first position to be copied.
Number of characters to copy. The range is 1 to 99. For
example, 3 copies three characters.
In cases where the source field is shorter than the combo
field, you have the option of filling (padding) data from the
left or right or none. You are also prompted for the fill
character.
