When creating a screen using the Support Tool, register the following elements for
the screen.

Marks can be input by specifying FF20 to FFFFH.
- Touch switch “input key – control”
@ ENT or (necessary for confirming the input)
The following keys can be registered if necessary.
@ CLR (for clearing the character string being input)
@ CA (for canceling the input)
@ BS (for deleting a character located immediately
before the input cursor)
@ DEL (for deleting a character located immediately
after the input cursor)
@ A, " (for moving the input cursor)
Reference: The “input key – control” of 0 to 9 and A to F can be used to input a character string.
[Operation]
(1) Display a screen which has a character string input field.
(2) Input a character string using the “input key – string”.
Reference: If the screen has only one character string input field, input of a character string
automatically starts when an “input key – string” is pressed. (Specification of an
objective input field is not necessary.)
