Set The Date Offset; Set The Date Offset Units; Set The Time Offset - Linx 5900 Quick Start Manual

Change Language
You can use this option to print a message that contains the text in one
language, and the date in another language. The Change Language option
changes the formats that are available in the list of formats.
The Change Language option is not needed for formats that contain only
numbers—these formats do not depend on the language. For example
"HH:MM:SS".
To select a language, press the Change Language key to display a list of
available languages. Use the arrow keys to select the language you require
for the field. Then press the OK key to return to the Date & Time Store
page.

4.1.3 Set the Date Offset

You can use this option to add or subtract a fixed number of days (or
weeks, or months, or years) from the correct date. You can use this method
to print a 'Sell-by' date. If the correct date is December 29 and the date
offset is +2 days, the date that is printed in the message is December 31.
To set the date difference, select Date Offset, then press the Select key to
display the Date Offset page.
Enter the required value from the keyboard, or use the arrow keys. Then
press the OK key to return to the Insert Date & Time page.

If you use a Date Offset, you can use any of the following units:
•
Days
•
Weeks
•
Months

To set the units, use the arrow keys to highlight the Date Offset Units
option. Then press the Select key to display the Date Offset Units page.
Use the arrow keys to select the required units from the list. Then press the
OK key to return to the Insert Date & Time page.

4.1.5 Set the Time Offset

You can use the Time Offset option to add or subtract a fixed time
difference from the correct time. If the correct time is 16:00 and the time
offset is –2 hours, the time that is printed in the message is 14:00.
To set the time difference, select Time Offset, then press the Select key to
display the Time Offset page.
Use the keyboard to enter the required value, then press the OK key to
return to the Insert Date & Time page.
