Option 3 (Data Entry Templates)
This option provides more specific restrictions than Option 2.
This option can be used to select certain letters (such as A
through F or the numbers 1 through 4) from a character set. You
can also use this option to create a template of allowable
characters for a field. Do not use with Option 2 (Data Type
Restrictions).
Use this option only for offline batch entry. You can define a
template up to 30 characters long, but the printer only displays 16
characters at a time. The character template must contain the
same number of characters as the field.
Option 3 is only available on the 9403 and
9850 printers. You must use the 917 keypad
with the 9850 printer for offline data entry.
