Notes and Suggestions
• You can insert the current date, page number, or time any-
where within the page header or footer. LPSETUP will insert
the date, page, and time wherever you place a
D
+
=,
p
+
=,
or
T
+ =
(respectively) in the header or footer text. Note that the
page number will always be substituted for
P
+
=, whether
automatic page numbering (on the first line of each page) is
turned on or off.
• Remember that
D
+ =
and
T
+ =
will be replaced by ten and eight
characters, respectively. Be careful not to exceed the maxi-
mum number of characters per line for your printer when typ-
ing in header or footer text.
