Data Field Events - Printronix P5000 Series User Manual

Figure 25. Generating a Mapping Table Entry
Now each time a label or form prints the value in the data field forms count
decrements by one. Next make sure that when the last form prints, a
message is sent to the front panel display as defined by setting a field data
event.

Data Field Events

To have a message sent to the front panel display when the printer count
reaches zero, we need to keep track of the forms count. For this we use the
Data Field Changed event. Each time the data field changes, a specific event
generates.
