Embedded Data

The Embedded Data data source type allows you to enter data that will display on the template directly from the keyboard. This same information will be printed on your items when you execute a print job; for this reason, the data is considered to be "embedded" into the template.

BarTender uses an embedded data source as the default data source type for all barcode, encoder, and text objects.

In addition to the Name and Type options (refer to Data Source tab), when Embedded Data is selected as the data source type, the Embedded Data field is also available. To enter data for an embedded data source, simply type the desired information into the Embedded Data field.

If you enable data entry for an embedded data source, the Embedded Data field will become the Default Reply. The default reply specifies the initial text that will appear inside of the corresponding control on the data entry form.
