Data Fields
Figure 208. The Define Data Fields Dialog Box
Data fields are storage locations in the printer’s resident memory. To define a
data field, select
Edit Define Data Fields . The Define Data Fields dialog
box opens (Figure 208).
The Name field allows the user to create a data field descriptive to the user’s
needs. The Type drop down menu allows you to choose one of seven
different types of data including 8, 16, or 32 bit signed or unsigned values and
a string value. The Initial Value field allows you to set an initial value for the
data type specified.
Checking the Non Volatile check box specifies that if a value in the data field
has changed during the operation of the printer and the printer is powered
down, the latest value of the data field will be the initial value when the printer
is powered on. For example, if the data field contains a label count of 10,000
and that after printing 1,200 forms the printer is turned off due to error, with
Non Volatile selected, the printer prints another 8,800 forms when the printer
goes online again. If Non Volatile is not selected, the printer will print another
10,000 forms.
