To include these values, you may specify the value in one of the following
ways:
• Specify the hexadecimal value directly using the following format: \x09.
• Use a common "escape" sequence: \r = carriage return, \n = line feed,
\t = tab.
• Use the standard ASCII control code name: \ <TAB> \ <CR> <\RS>
Skip Fields - It may be desirable to have the host download part of the
marking data with the operator entering the remainder. In such a situation,
you would want to have the data be retained for the operator rather than
requiring him/her to re-enter it each time. In previous versions, all fields not
included by the host were cleared to null strings. If the host left one of its
fields blank (e.g. just the separator ,, was included) then the data for that
field was cleared. In V1.20 and up, the field can be "skipped" if the host in-
cludes a single TAB character (0x09) between the separators.
Note that if the TAB character is not included, the field will be
cleared as in previous versions.
Include Extra Data - In previous versions, the data from the host was exclu-
sively assigned to Operator Entry fields. If there were no operator entry
fields, or there were more data fields in the download than there were op-
erator fields, then the extra data was ignored. In V1.20 and up, you can op-
tionally include these extra fields in the host download. For every field in the
host beyond the number of operator entry fields, the field is identified as
Field 1, Field 2, etc. Field 1 will be assigned to the layout text field that has 1
as its Link ID. Field 2 will be assigned to layout text link ID 2, etc.
Note that if these layout fields contain % flags for automatic
data, these flags will be replaced by the download which may
not be the desired behavior. You can also skip these fields by
using a TAB character in place of the data.
