8.6.6.1.2 Extern Text: Object settings and properties
See figure 146
In the job editor you can create an <Extern Text> object with the direct button (icon) for
<Extern Text> (1). This will open the dialog box for the object settings (2). On the tab
<Global settings> (3) you can enter the font settings (4), select font options (5) or define
the positioning of the object (6).
For details about the global settings of an object please see chapter 8.4
Object settings
On the tab <Extern Text> (7) you can choose the type of the extern text from a drop-
down list (8). The following description refers to the option <Extern Text> (9). The
<Mailing> option (10) is described separately.
The type <Extern Text: fixed length>offers several options:
Settings for double prints (11)
Settings for wildcards (12)
Settings for an offset (13)
Wildcards
There is an indicator which shows the current number of wildcards (14) and a display field
for inputs (15). When you place the Cursor in the display field a keyboard (17) respectively
a numeric keypad (16) will open for inputs. Changing the number and kind of the wildcard
character will be immediately shown by the indicator (15). In the job editor the defined
<Wildcards> are shown as content of the <Extern text> object (16).
Wildcards for an <Extern Text> object have two functions:
1. The characters of the wildcards represent the first character string to be
displayed and printed. They will then be replaced by the first received data.
2. Wildcards define the number of characters to be considered.
Character offset
With the character offset (13) you can define how many characters from the left side of
the received character string will be ignored. You can set the character offset either with
the arrow keys of the display field (13) or with a numeric keypad (16) displayed when
placing the cursor in the display field.
