The following options are available when a message that contains the prompted
field is selected for printing:
• Default—the text in the prompt list for the field defaults to the default prompt
list item selected at the Prompt List Entry screen (see Figure 105 on page 99).
For example, you can touch the Enter button at the “ENTER PRODUCT
QUANTITY” prompt to accept the text “25 PACKS”.
• Current Value—the text in the prompt list for the field defaults to the last
prompt list item used in the field. If the prompted field has been used before,
you can touch the Enter button at the “ENTER PRODUCT QUANTITY”
prompt to accept the last prompt list item used in the field. If no item has been
used before, the Default entry from the Prompt List screen is used in the field.
• Empty—you are prompted to select an item from the prompt list at the
“ENTER PRODUCT QUANTITY” prompt. This option overrides any current
default prompt list item selected at the Prompt List screen.
8 When you have selected your required options, touch the Exit button to return to
the Text Field Properties screen.

6.4.3 Use prompted fields
When you have created a message that contains one or more prompted fields, you can select
that message for printing as described in the Linx 8900 Quick Start Guide.
When you select the message for printing, the printer displays a sequence of one or more
prompt screens, which depends on how many prompted fields the message contains. At
each screen, you must choose to accept the default text, enter text, or select text from the
prompt list.
NOTE: If the current message contains prompted fields, when you turn off, and then turn
on the printer, you are prompted to enter field information when you touch the
Start Printing button.
