4. Add the name of the clone to the schema that will be used to print<br />
the new label:<br />
a. Click in the Data type column for the field that you are cloning.<br />
b. Click a second time to open a list box and select Clones.<br />
c. In the adjacent Variable name field, select the variable that you<br />
named above.<br />
5. Click Update Schema to save the changes.<br />
You cannot clone<br />
text fields<br />
You can only clone bar codes. This is because text fields cannot be read<br />
by the bar code reader.<br />
If you want the label that contains the cloned bar code to also have text<br />
fields that match those on the label from which the clone was created,<br />
you will need to set up the schema to replicate those fields, using<br />
constants and counters.<br />
You cannot clone a<br />
field in the same job<br />
You can only clone a bar code that is on the plate before the print job<br />
begins. If your goal is to use a single print job to first print a label and<br />
then clone its bar code, it is unlikely to work. This is because you cannot<br />
control the order in which the sides of the plate are labelled. If you<br />
attempt to so this, when the cloning operation begins, there may not yet<br />
be a label on the side that you want to clone from.<br />
