Format
The date and time formats as
well as the names of months and
weekdays are not saved in the
printer's battery backed-up
memory, but must be transmitted
to the printer after each power-
up.

The formats for printing dates and time in connection with the com-
mands DATE$("F"), DATEADD$("F"), TIME$("F") and
TIMEADD$("F") (see chapter 6.5) can be specified by the com-
mands FORMAT DATE$ and FORMAT TIME$. With both these
commands, you should enter characters representing the various
types of information. The order and number of the characters de-
cides the format. You can also include separating characters like
periods, slashes, colons, etc. Note that the input string must be en-
closed by double quotation marks.
