Text Wizard - Date Field
Define the properties of the date field. The field will get the value from the computer clock.
Figure 41 • Dialog box for Text Wizard when Date field option is chosen
Format: Select the format for your date from the list. You can also enter a custom format.
Date offset: You can add a certain number of days, months, or years to a current date and print
that date instead of the current one.
Preview: The printer will print the date as shown on the Preview field. This allows you to see
how the selected date format will look on the label.
Use the printer’s internal clock: Enable this option to recall the date information from the real
time clock (RTC) built in to the printer not the clock from the computer. The list of available
date formats changes accordingly to the capabilities of the selected printer.
Note • You must format the current text object in an internal printer font to be able to use the
printer’s internal clock option.
