4.10 Creating a Date Field
You can create a date field for sell-by dates, use-by dates, or any other date
related information.
The DATE FORMAT menu allows you to choose from the following date
formats:
Figure 4-29 Date Formats
NOTES:
1. To specify the Julian date format as either European or American,
please refer to ‘To Specify the Julian Date Format’ on page 110.
2. The Arabic date format ‘yy-mm-dd a’ can be used with standard
fonts (for roman numerals), or with Arabic fonts (for Arabic
characters). When used with standard fonts, note the leading
spaces (4– 6–23).
The DATE menu allows you to specify the ‘offset’ number of days. This
period from the current date creates the actual printed date.
