Variable Data and The “Data” field can be replaced by or com- Counter Functions bined with the following commands:

Vnn= Prints the contents of variable “nn” at this position where nn is a 2 digit num- ber from 00 to 99. See the V command, page

Cn= Prints the contents of counter “n” at this position where n is a one digit number from 0 to 9. See the C command, page .

Example: A50,0,0,1,1,1,N,"DATA"	: Writes Text
A50,50,0,2,1,1,N,V01: Writes contents of variable 01
A50,100,0,3,1,1,N,C1: Writes contents of counter 1
A50,100,0,3,1,1,N,C1+2	: Writes contents of counter 1 plus 2

Data with the RTC The “Data” field can be replaced by or com- Time & Date bined with the following variables:

Functions

TT= Prints the current time at this position in the predefined format. See the TT com- mand for format selection. This variable is available only if the printer Time & Date option is installed.

TD =Prints the current date at this position in the predefined format. See the TD com- mand for format selection. This variable is available only if the printer Time & Date option is installed.

Examples: A50,150,0,4,1,1,N,TT↵	: Writes current time
A50,200,0,5,1,1,N,TD↵	: Writes current date

or a combination of several options:

A50,300,0,3,2,2,R,"Deluxe"V01C2"Combo"TDV01TT↵

:Writes the text “Deluxe” followed by the contents of variable 01 fol- lowed by the contents of counter 2 followed by the text “Combo” fol- lowed by the current date followed by the contents of variable 01 followed by the current time.
