Bar Code Wizard - Time Field
Define the properties of the time field. The variable field will get the value from a computer clock.
Format: Select the format for the time from the list. You can also enter the custom format.
Preview: The printer will print the time as shown on the Preview field. This way you can see how
the selected date format will look on the label.

Define: Click on this button to open the database wizard that will help you define the link to the data-
base.
Field: Choose one of the available database fields as a source for the variable field.
Length: Define the maximum length of the string in variable. If field in database contains more char-
acters, they will not be printed. This option is useful if the field length in your database is not fixed
(for example tab delimited ASCII file), or if you don't want to reserve space for all the characters in
database's field.
Bar Code Wizard - Prefix and Suffix
The variable element can have a prefix and suffix values. The prefix text is placed in front of the var-
iable's value. The suffix text is place at the end of the variable's value.
Note:
If you leave the edit fields empty, the prefix/suffix will not be used.
Prefix and suffix can be used in situations where they are required only if the variable has set some
value. If the variable is empty, the prefix/suffix will not be printed as well.
