STORING DATA IN THE PRINTER MEMORY
112 Copyright © 2006, Cognitive.
“prompt”
ASCII text that the printer sends to
the serial port when ready to receive
data for the defined variable. Enclose
the prompt text with quotation marks
("). If no prompt is desired, enter two
quotation marks ("") with no
characters between them.
To include quotation marks within
the prompt, precede the internal
quotation mark with a backslash (\).
Use two consecutive backslashes (\\)
to include a backslash within the
prompt.
“initial”
Starting value for the defined
variable. Enclose the starting value
with quotation marks (") as described
for "prompt" above.
Comments Replacing a fixed value in a printer command with a
variable tells the printer to plot the label element
using data entered or recalled at print time, rather
than data written in the label format when it was
programmed.
When using a variable name within a label format,
you must enclose it with the delimiter character
defined by the DELIMIT command

Example The following command defines a dynamic variable
called customer, with a maximum length of 20,
alphabetic type, no alignment, no initial value:

""
