Select a Layout
Before any variable data can be transmitted to a preprogrammed
layout, the layout must be selected by means of a LAYOUT RUN
command.
LAYOUT RUN "<layout name>"
<layout name>
Example:
LAYOUT RUN "Shipping Label"
Transmit Variable Data to a Layout
After having selecting a layout using a LAYOUT RUN command,
you can transmit the variable data to their respective layout fields:
• The transmission starts with a start-of-text separator.
• Then comes a block of data to the field containing VAR1$.
• A field separator separates the blocks of data.
• Next block goes to the field containing VAR2$.
• A field separator separates the blocks of data and so on.
• The last block must also end with a field separator.
• The end of transmission is indicated by an End-of text separator.
By default, the following separators should be used:
• Start separator:
• Field separator:
• End separator:
All separators can be changed by means of INPUT ON/OFF and a
FORMAT INPUT command, see chapter 6.5.
