Fixed data is information (a company name or store number) you want to
print on all labels. You can define fixed characters for an entire field or for
part of a field.

Syntax

R,1,"fixed char"

p

R1. R

Option Header.

R2. 1

Option 1.

R3. fixed char

Characters to insert. Enclose in quotation marks. If you are defining fixed
characters for part of a field, place underscores(_) in non-fixed positions.
Any spaces in the phrase are fixed characters. Range: 0 to 2710.

Note:

Underscore characters are stripped out and the data is
compressed if no data is supplied by the batch and the field length
is variable.

Example

R,1,"_ _ _%$_ _ _ _ _"

p

Uses fixed characters (%$) in positions 4 and 5. The other positions are
variable.

Example

R,1,"MONARCH"

p

“MONARCH” appears as a fixed field in this example.

To fill in the non-fixed portion of the field, see “Defining Batch Data Fields”
in Chapter 6. As an alternative, you can apply Option 4 to copy data into
the non-fixed character positions.
