This section explains how to prepare your printer for offline printing and enter data. Offline printing means entering batch data from the keypad and printing batches. There are three standard formats included with your printer. See "Using the Standard Formats" for more information.

You can enter numbers, letters, and a variety of symbols (including punctuation and international characters). International characters are available by pressing P and code numbers. See Appendix B for more information.

You can switch between character and numeric mode at any time by pressing the s key.

For offline printing, send the format to the printer first. You can send several offline formats to the printer. If the formats are stored in flash memory, they remain when the printer is turned off. Do not send packets with the same number to flash memory. If two packets with the same number are stored in flash, only the last packet sent is used. Refer to the Packet Reference Manual for more information.

E n t e r i n g N u m b e r s

You must be in numeric mode to enter numbers. If a caret (^) appears in the upper right corner of the printer display, press s to remove. If no caret appears in the upper right corner, you are ready to enter numbers.

To enter numeric data, press the alphanumeric key that shows the number you want. The screen displays the number, and the cursor moves to the next position in the field. This is also how you enter a period (.), comma (,), dollar sign ($) or pound sign (#).

You can switch back to character mode at any time by pressing

s. Each time you press this key, the mode switches from one to the other.
