Embedded Data

The Embedded Data data source type enables 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 embedded data as the default data source type for all barcode, encoder, and text objects.

To enter data for an embedded data source, simply type the information you want into the Embedded Data field, located on the Data Source tab of the Data Sources property page. To insert a symbol or character, click the icon to open the Insert Symbols or Special Characters dialog and select the character you want.

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.
