DATA TOOL
24
The Data Tool is used to link a list of label legends to a label. The
Data Tool also defines how to place the label legends on the label. The list
can consist of up to 100 legends, where each legend can be up to 4 lines of
up to 16 characters. The list can be created on the printer, or created on a
PC then downloaded to the printer using the ViperLink
TM
software (See page
34). Using a Data Tool, the user need only define 1 label that could print up
to 100 labels.
The Data Tool can also be defined to prompt the user for legend
when the label is printing. This feature allows the user to reserve space on
the label for data that will be entered at a later time.
