G the second letter of the month,
H the third letter of the month,
b the number (between 0 and 23) of the hour of day of current time coded with a single
character.
The assignment of any character available via the terminal keypad to each hour of
day is made in the submenu TEXT SERVICE 
UNIV.DATE REG. CONFIGURATION  HOUR CODING (1 CHAR). The same
characters can be assigned to different hours.
Z working shift identifier,
Working shifts identified by numbers 1, 2 or 3 cover the following time periods as
standard:
1
st
shift - from 6:00 to 14:00, 2
nd
shift - from 14:00 to 22:00,
3
rd
shift - from 22:00 to 6:00, on every day of the week.
A shift identifier can be set for each of up to 8 working shifts (within a 24-hour day), so
can shift start and finish times for each shift separately on working days (from Monday to
Friday) and on the other days (Saturday and Sunday).
In order to change the settings select the item SHIFT DEFINITION from the submenu
TEXT SERVICE  UNIV.DATE REG. CONFIGURATION. A list of additional parameters
of the special register Universal date and time is displayed for the coding element Z of
this register, that is for the shift identifier. This is where the following parameters can be
modified.
• Any alphanumerical character available on the terminal keypad can be used as
identifier.
• The shift start time needs to be specified as the sequence of hh:mm (hours:minutes).
The shift times need to be specified in such a way that the following condition is met:
the next shift needs to start later than the previous one.
• If a character X is specified instead of a shift start time, it means that a given and
subsequent shifts do not exist, and the identifier is printed in accordance with the
previous shits’ parameter settings.
NOTE:
• The shift identifiers and start times are global parameters in the printer. This means
that every subfile in the text-file library that is a Universal Date and time special
register and contains the Z element of the register uses the same set of shift
identifiers and start times.
• The standard version does not support any update of tens or units of seconds
(parts T and U in the Univ. date register). When such function is supported, the
printer processor is engaged frequently (every second) to update the text file and
the maximum print rate might be reduced.
EXAMPLE:
When you define a subfile as a Univ. date special register and input the following
characters ( stands for a space character):
a) DA.MO.20YE=DAFGH20YEBC:IJPQSWKNZ
b) EYOM/DZAF<PGQH>SC***BIJQ###SPW---NK
then the following labels are printed on 12.01.2004 at 12:35:50:
a) 12.01.2004=12 JAN 2004 12:35 012 02 6 1
b) 4010/112J<0A1N>22***1350###120---62
Expiry Date Registers
In order to print automatically a future date that is shifted by a certain number of days
from the current date, you can use two special registers Date+offs. and Date+offs.2 (so
called expiry date registers).
