Using the System
formats of your own.
For the purpose of this example we will choose the format “dd mmm yy” which will read (for example)
“11 NOV 00”, when the message is actually printed on that day.
This is done by moving the cursor to the required format using the up/down arrow keys until the menu
cursor is pointing to it. The format is then selected by pressing the [enter] key.
The following menu will then be displayed:
Offset Number of days to be added to current date to create printed date. Range 0 through 7,300
days
Format Format (see above) in which date will
be printed
The format shown in the DATE menu cannot be changed; it is shown for information only. If you do
wish to alter it, press the [esc] key to return to the DATE FORMAT menu, and start again.
The date offset may be changed by pressing the [enter] key to move the menu cursor to the value, typing
in the new value and pressing the [enter] key to activate the change.
If the date offset and format shown is correct (as on the menu above), press the [enter] key until the
EDIT MESSAGE screen is displayed, which will show the new date field added:
Notice that the actual date is not shown at this stage because we are stil
l editing. When editing is
finished, the “dd mmm yy” will be replaced with the relevant information from the current date.
NOTE: If you do move the menu cursor in the DATE menu, pressing the [enter] key will not be
enough to accept the date. You will need to move the cursor back to the Offset option, press
the [enter] key to select theoption, then press the [enter] key again.
Creating Sequential Number Fields
These are useful for batch numbers, item counts, etc.
Before creating the sequential number field, we will satisfy the example being used here, by creating
a text field which reads “BATCH”, underneath the “Sell By”
date of our display.
There is no need to change the Character Set but we do need to move the cursor so it is underneath
the “Sell By” date. To do this, use the down arrow key to move the cursor to the bottom of the message
area, and then the left arrow key to move the cursor to where we want our batch number to begin:
