Using Front Panel Editing
Using the PFORMT menu (see Figure 3-8), you can edit the print format string by changing the hex values of the
ASCII characters in the format string.
To edit a print format, do the following:
1. In configuration mode, use the navigation keys to go to the PFORMAT menu. Press the
8
key to show the
EDIT
submenu.
2. Press the
8
key again to show the print format string. Use the
4
key and the
6
key to scroll through the
format. The number position of each character is shown in the two digits at the left of the display.
To Edit a Character:
1. Press the
ENTER
key while the character is displayed. The right most digit blinks, indicating that it can be
changed. Use the
2
key and
8
keys to increase or decrease the value, or use the
4
key to move to the next
digit. Press the
ENTER
key to save any changes and advance to the next character in the string.
2. If done, press the
2
key to return to the
EDIT
submenu.
To Insert One of More Characters:

key to insert one character; press repeatedly to add more characters. Each press of the
ENTER
key adds a character at the location last shown under
EDIT
submenu and shifts all subsequent
characters to the right. Inserted characters are assigned hex value 00 (null). To edit inserted characters,
return to the EDIT submenu and make changes as described in this section “To edit a character.”
To Delete One of More Characters
1. Move the cursor to the character to be deleted.
2. Press the
2
key to return to the
EDIT
submenu, and then press the
6
key twice to show the

parameter.
3. Press
ENTER
key to delete one character; press repeatedly to delete more characters. Each press of the
ENTER
key deletes a character, starting at the location last shown under
EDIT
submenu, and then moving
left to preceding characters. Each deletion shifts all subsequent characters to the left.
The format of the characters to be entered is shown.
Figure 6-1. Print Format
• EDP or Electronic Data Processing refers to a PC or a terminal that can enter ASCII characters using a keyboard and a
screen via the EDP interface of the 120 Plus.
• Some characters cannot be displayed on the 120 Plus front panel (See the ASCII character chart in Appendix C - ASCII
Set and Specifications and Appendix E - Front Panel Display Characters on pages 44 and 48.) and are shown as blanks.
The 120 Plus can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed depends on the particular ASCII character
set implemented for the receiving device.
