To set up a Print String formula:
1. Select a pre-defined value from the list box.
2. Click Add Item.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your formula is complete.
NOTES: Select Delete Item to delete the last pre-defined value that was
added. Delete Formula deletes the entire Print String formula.
For the Print String formula, you cannot use the special substring
syntax that is available in other Formula dialog boxes. This is
because all of the pre-defined values are scanner values and
scanner values can not be substringed.
Manually entered string values (enclosed in double quotes “”)
cannot be used for the Print String formula. Instead, the pre-defined
Message fields must be used to print fixed text as part of the
Print String formula. Information about Message configuration is
on the following page.
A maximum of 40 characters can be printed on a page. Therefore, the
print string formula may not result in more than 40 characters of data.
During scanning, the printed text can be a combination of fixed text (i.e., will
be the same for each scanned page) or variable values (i.e., values that
may change with each scanned page). The Message fields (Message
1,…Message 6) are fixed for each scanned page. The Space field can
be used to separate predefined values if more than one is selected for the
print string formula (you can also use spaces, or other typed in delimiters,
when defining the Message fields to separate predefined values).
The following fields may be variable for each scanned page:
• IA Fixed field, IA Level 3, IA Level 2, IA Level 1 make up the scanner
image address. The printing format of image address fields is specified in
the Image Address tab of the i800 Options dialog. If you want to print a
delimited image address then you must define a Message field that contains
the delimiter. For example, if you have a Level 3 image address format and
you wish to print the entire image address delimited with a period (“.”), you
would first define the Message 1 field with a predefined value of “.”. Then
you would define the Print String to be the following:
<IA_FIXED_FIELD><MESSAGE_1><IA_LEVEL_3><MESSAGE_1><IA_LEVEL_2>
<MESSAGE_1><IA_LEVEL_1>
• Scanner counter and Scanner date. The printing format of the counter and
date are specified in the main dialog of the Printer tab.
• Scanner time. The format is HH:MM in a 24-hour time format.
