The following options are available when a message that contains the prompted
field is selected for printing:
•
Default—the text in the edit box of the User Prompt screen defaults to the text
entered in the Default Text option. For example, you can touch the Enter
button at the "ENTER PRODUCT NAME" prompt to accept the text
"BISCUITS".
•
Current Value—the text in the edit box of the User Prompt screen defaults to
the last text used in the field. If the prompted field has been used before, you
can touch the Enter button at the "ENTER PRODUCT NAME" prompt to
accept the text last used in the field. If no text has been entered before, the
Default Text is used in the field.
•
Empty—no text appears in the edit box of the User Prompt screen. You are
