Paxar Monarch DOS-based Pathfinder Ultra System 6035 - Manual (Page 51)

Defining Text Fields 5-11
Fill Direction Specifies whether to fill a short source field from the left,
right, or not fill the field. For example, if the source field
only contains 5 characters, but the combo field contains
10, you can fill the field from the left or right with zeroes or
another character.
Fill Character Specifies which character to use for filling a field.
An example of using text fields to create a combo
text field can be seen in multi-part tags. If you need
a two-part identical tag, use combo text fields to
mirror the data. The operator only has to answer the
prompts one time for both tags.
NOTE: When creating your combo field, remember
that lines and constant text fields do not count as fields, even
though they appear in the list as fields when editing a format.
For example, the constant text field, “Pretzels,” does not count as field 01,
the bar code field is field 01, if the fields were defined
in this order: pretzels, bar code, combo field (for
human readable), and price field.
NOTE: You will receive an error or unexpected data
may print in the combo field if you use the
wrong field number.
Use combo fields to copy data from
one part of tag to the other.
