during data entry, but the contents of the field prints
automatically when the batch is printed.

If you do not enter characters at the Enter any fixed
characters:
prompt, your data will print incorrectly
during batch printing.

For time or date fields, the current time or date is used.

Price fields are not available as fixed fields.

field definition screen):

Field 01: P)rompt, F)ix, L)ine
