<p class="Help-Text">The group of fields making up the item list on printed documents is slightly different from other field groups. As shown in the following images, there is a heading line and three lines for item data that can be displayed/printed for each item listed on the document. Multiple lines can be helpful, especially if you are using a 40-column printer.</p>
