Take a look at the examples (just below the syntax line) in the documentation.

A field reference is just one of the legal ways to describe a field:
  the ID of field "Foo"
  the long name of field 1
  the abbrev ID of field myField

So you can use the command like this:
  revPrintField the ID of field "Foo"
  revPrintField the long name of field 1
  revPrintField the abbrev ID of field myField

I'll add a sentence to the docs to make this a little clearer.
