About Programming Numbers in Header Messages
If you need to print numbers, you must enter the numbers using the
Alphanumeric Code Chart. For example, for the telephone number
999-555-1212, the number 9 is programmed using the character code
39, the number 5 is programmed using the code 35, and so on.
Using Double Wide Characters
For extra emphasis, you can program double wide characters for a specific
character or a line of characters.
If you use double wide characters, the maximum number of characters
you can use is cut in half.
Normal Size Double Wide
• Department 6 characters
• PLU 6 characters
• Clerk Name 12 characters
• Header Message 5 lines, 12 characters each
• Footer Message 5 lines, 12 characters each
