Where applicable, each AText description includes its respective default value. If a default value is not specified, the AText is normally left blank.

For each AText, three options are available:

  • <Default> uses the default AText value.

  • <Suppress> suppresses the AText value.

  • <Edit value> modifies the AText value with the user-specified entry.

The preview graphics shown below illustrate the default AText setting.
