MESSAGE ATTRIBUTES
The next stage of message construction is inserting attributes. The attribute
functions are located in the sub menu in the edit which message? menu.
Edit
If the information in sell by date, real time command, count, bar code, logo or
variables is incorrect, use the Edit function to alter.
The cursor needs to be positioned at the beginning of the field.
If, for example, the sell by date requires editing, go to the first character and press
the edit button. The screen will then change to the first of the sell by date screens,
allowing the user to change any incorrect information.
With bar codes and logos, the edit button can also be used to check the name of
the bar code or logo.
Entering a Sell By Date
One of the most commonly used attributes is the sell by date function. To
enter a sell by date enter the edit which message? menu.
(1) Using the select a font menu, select which font height the sell
by date is to be printed, the cursor will change at the beginning of the
message, or select the alternative font to use a downloaded font (see
page 91). After the height format is chosen, select the sell by date
icon.
(2) The option of entering the sell by date in
days, weeks or months is available, in this
example the sell by days option is chosen.
If sell by weeks is selected then rollover day
needs to be selected 1 = Monday etc.
(3) Type in the number of days (or months)
ahead that the product sell by date will expire
(in this case 10 days). Press enter to confirm.
