Configuring Data Sources
Option Description
Must-Fill
Requires the user to make an entry in the field that matches the
maximum number of characters specified in the properties box
for that field.
Mandatory
Requires the user to make an entry in the field but allows any
number of characters up to and including the maximum
number of characters specified in the properties box.
Update Method and Clear Value
The Update Method instructs the Loftware Label Manager what to do after a label is printed.
Option Description
Clear (default)
Clears the field after a label is printed. The field is cleared to
whatever is in the Clear Value field. By default, the field is
cleared (set to blank), but you can assign a Clear Value (for
example, you may want to have a Pack Quantity field clear to a
standard pack quantity of 100). The Clear Value field is only
active if the Update Method is set to Clear.
Remember
Retains the user input data for successive print runs of the same
label. For example, if the packer number is displayed on a label
and the same packer is responsible for several print runs of the
same label, there is no need for the packer to re-enter Packer
Number.
Remember Across
Labels
Retains the user input data across successive print runs of the
same or different labels. If the packer number is displayed on
several different labels and the same packer is responsible for
printing these labels over time, there is no need for the packer
to re-enter Packer Number for each print run.
Remembering Data Across Labels
l Each label to be printed must have a field with the same name, for example, “Packer”.
l Assign a Keyboard data source for each field.
l Set the field as Remember Across Labels on each label format.
Character Mask and Custom Mask
Character Mask allows you to define or limit the types of characters the user may enter. Note that for
RFID fields, the only choice is Hexadecimal.
Mask Description
None (default) Enter any keyboard character.
Alphanumeric
Enter upper or lower case alphabetical characters (A through Z,
a through z) and numeric digits (0 through 9).
