Sometimes, rather than selecting an option, you need to enter char-
acter information. A character is any letter, digit, or symbol. A field is a
group of characters that have meaning. Use the printer control panel
to enter character information in the message window during printer
configuration. The maximum length of the message window is 16
characters.
Entering character information through the control panel is similar to
setting the time and date on a digital watch. You enter one character
at a time. The cursor flashes. Use the following keys to change the
current input character:
Press this key... to...
Next
Previous
Once you have changed the current input character, use the following
keys to move the cursor to another input character:
Press this key... to...
Select
Menu
To exit from the character selection process, move the cursor to the
last character of the input field (the character farthest to the right) and
press the Select key, or move to the first character of the input field
(the character farthest to the left) and press the Menu key.
When you exit, the printer verifies the character information and con-
firms it in the message window. If the character information is valid,
you are returned to the previous menu; if it is invalid, you are returned
to the input field. Press the Menu key to cancel any changes to the
character information.
If the current character information is longer than the value that you
need to enter, replace each extra character with a space. The printer
interprets a space at the end of character information as a blank.
Advance to the next choice for the current input character.
Return to the previous choice for the current input
character.
Advance the cursor to the next character.
Return the cursor to the previous character.
