With Data Sources, you can:
l Identify the source (for example database) from which the Loftware Label Manager obtains the
data that is included on a label.
l Control what a user can enter on a label when preparing a print run using an On-Demand Print
form.
Data sources can be defined for any variable field, text, barcode or image. The default data source for all
fields other than image is Keyboard, which assumes direct user input for the data at print time, for
example, a data entry station on the shop floor. The default data source for an image is Fixed.
