NOTE: The field length you enter must contain

at least one

more digit than the scheme uses. The extra position
is for the check digit. This extra (blank) position may
be in anywhere in the field.

Mark the position where you want a check digit to print.

Enter a ’C’ in CD position(s):
XXXXXXXXXXC

Type a C and press

E

. The underlines include an extra

space for the check digit. Above, the check digit is set to print
at the end of the field. However, it may be placed in any
position.

Cost Code Field

The cost code feature translates data entered by the operator
to a code that is printed on the supply.

You must also define a translation table in Printer Options to
use this feature. To define a translation table, refer to
"Defining a Cost Code" in the

Operator’s Handbook. When

defining your translation, the type of data the operator enters
must match the data type in the translation table. For
example, if your translation table has numeric data as the
"entered data" for data entry, you must define the cost code
field in the format as numeric.

At data entry, the operator will see the prompt for that field, for
example:

COST CODE?___

The underscores represent the number of characters the
operator can enter. For example, if the operator enters 159,
the translated code printed might be PTS.
