Chapter 3, "Applying Field Options."

Defining Non-Printable Text Fields

You can enter data in non-printable text fields, but it does not
print. Typically, non-printable text fields "hold" data that will
combine with other fields to form a merged field.

NOTE: Define non-printable text fields before you define the

field that prints the information in these fields.

In the following example, there are four non-printable fields.
The printer merges data from these fields to form field #5,
which prints as a bar code. Chapter 3, "Applying Field
Options," tells how to merge fields.
