Monarch Instrument 9402 - Manual (Page 59)

About the Shift Key
When you use the
5
key on the printer keypad or the shift
key on an external computer keyboard, a carat symbol
appears in the upper right corner of the printer display. This
indicates that you are in character mode.

__________
When you use the
5
key (or shift key), some characters may
become scrambled or overwrite each other on the display,
especially when you enter more than six extended characters.
If this problem occurs, the scrambling should appear only on
the display. If it occurs on the printed format, re-enter the
batch data and print again. If scrambled data continues to
show up on printed formats, call your Monarch Technical
Support Representative.
Entering and Changing Data
When you need to enter data, the screen shows a prompt with
an underscore for each character you can enter.

JUNIOR _ _ _
For example, this screen shows you can enter up to four
characters before pressing
6 . If you try to enter more than
four characters, the printer beeps. Your entry is not accepted
until you press
6
.
Some fields specifically require numeric or alphabetic data. If
you try to enter numeric data for an alpha field, or alphabetic
data for a numeric field, the printer beeps. Enter the correct
data and press
6
