Start code
This tells the system that what follows is a sell-by-date. Use the code cD for a sell-
by-date based on an incremental number of days calculated from the current date.
Use the code cM for a sell-by-date based on an incremental number of months
calculated from the current date.
Incremental value
Enter a three digit value (001-999) representing the number of days or months to
be added to the current date.
Note: A three digit code must be entered. Pad out values less than 100 with zeros, e.g.
030.
Date code letters
Enter here the actual date code to be printed. This can consist of a number of
punctuation marks - colons, obliques and spaces, just as when printing a date code
- and the date code letters EF, GH, IJ and RST. None of the other date code
letters are used.
End code “e”
For example:
In this example, the code cd has been used, telling the system to add a number of
days to the current date to calculate the sell-by-date. The three digit number that
follows gives the number of days to be added - 030. The date code letters to be
printed follow - EF RST IJ - and finally the end code e.
Presuming that today is the 25th of January 2001, this example would print:
24 FEB 01
For another example
Here, a number of months are to be added to the current date. Note that the value
006 has been padded with zeros.
Presuming that today is the 25th of January 1997, this example would print:
25 JUL 97
cD030EF RST IJe
cM006EF RST IJe
