Input of Numeric Values and Character Strings
Section 8-7
(3) Press the ENT key or the key to confirm the input.
When the input is confirmed, the input character string is stored to a character
string memory table. Then, the occurrence of a change in the contents of the
character string memory table is notified to the host via the PT status notify
area (page 276).
Reference: If the number of characters of the input character string is smaller than the number
of characters of the character string memory table size, the digits left blank are
filled with spaces.

Input
When a bar code reader is used, either of the following methods can be selected
for confirming the input.
- Manual confirmation:
Use the ENT key or the key to confirm the input character string.
- Automatic confirmation:
The input character string is automatically confirmed at the same time the bar
code reader reads out the bar code data (character string).
Reference - When “Manual” is selected for inputting a character string using a bar code
reader, the touch switch “input key – string” can be used to correct the bar code
data (character string) or add any required character
- Selection of “Auto/Manual” is made in the settings for the communication condi-
tions of a bar code reader at the System Menu of the NT31/NT31C.
- It is possible to copy the contents in a character string memory table to a charac-
ter string input field using the touch switch “Copy Setting” function (page 516).
