Entering Upper-Case Letters
To enter upper-case letters, press one of the numeric keys in Shift mode
(S appears on the status line). For example, the letters "ABC" appear on
the face of the 7 key.
9. Press Shift to enter Shift mode.
10. To enter the letter A, press 7 once; to enter B, press 7 twice; to enter
C, press 7 three times. If you press 7 four times, it loops around and
displays A again.
Note:
Press the keys fairly quickly. If you pause too long between key
presses, the printer assumes you have completed, and the
current letter is the one you want. Then, the cursor moves one
space to the right.
Correcting Data Entry Errors
If you make a mistake as you enter data, you can do two things.
If you have already pressed Enter at the prompt you want to correct,
press Esc, and the Format menu will reappear.
If you are still at the prompt (have not pressed Enter), press Shift-
Bksp to clear the entire line and return the cursor to the left-most
position.
A b o u t C h e c k D i g i t s
A check digit is a character that verifies the accuracy of the bar code.
With a few exceptions described later, the digit appears in the right-most
position of the example bar codes in Chapter 3. It is not part of the data.
