6.3 Add a Shift Code field
A shift code records the time or the day of the week during which a message was printed.
You can use the shift code to help you identify each batch of products. You can insert
multiple shift code fields in a message. Shift codes are individual to each message. If you
need to use a shift code again, you can copy a message and then edit it, or create a new
message. The 8900 printer can generate two types of shift code field—Daily or Weekly.
These types are described below.
6.3.1 Examples
The two types of shift code are shown in the examples that follow.
Example 1: Daily shift code
This type of shift code is repeated each day and indicates the time during which a message
was printed. Table 6-6 shows an example.
The start time of each period defines the end of the previous period.
Example 2: Weekly shift code
This type of shift code is repeated each week and indicates the day on which a message was
printed. Table 6-7 shows an example.
When you create a Weekly shift code, you can set the time at which the code changes on
each day. The start day and time of each period defines the end of the previous period.

To add a shift code field to a message:
1 Create and select a message, or find and select an existing message, as described in
the Linx 8900 Quick Start Guide.
2 Touch the Edit this Message button.
