Defining Constant Text Fields
A constant text field is a set of fixed characters that prints on all labels. Define each constant
text field separately. This field is not assigned a field number, but is counted as a field (keep this
in mind, as the printer allows a maximum of 1000 fields per format). The characters in this field
cannot be changed by batch data. Field options do not apply to constant text fields. Mark the
pivot point of the field, which varies depending on the fields’ justification.
