Julian date and the last 2 digits of the
current year as a 3 digit alphanumerical
expression.

The 25 February is the 56
year 2014.
How to set ab expiry date
The expiry date is created by an offset on the current date/time. It is possible to choose
either days or months for the offset.
Expiry date – calculated on the basis of days
If the expiry date is calculated in days the result will show the current day or/and time plus
the offset. The function will consider the actual number of days of the current month as
well as leap years.
Expiry date – calculated on the basis of months
If months are used for the calculation of the expiry date, the following rules are valid:
If the specific day code does not exist in the month which would be the "expiry month",
the expiry date will be shifted into the next month. The number of days the expiry date
would be shifted depends on the "missing" days in the month in which the expiry date
originally would have been. Please see the examples for details.
Example 1:
The day of the production is: 31 August 2012
The expiry date shell be: 6 months
The regular result of the final date would be: 31. February 2013. Due to the fact that this
day not exists, the printer will print: 03. March 2013. In that case 3 days are missing in
February.
