The characters can be letters, numbers, or special
characters (such as / or $), but all ten must be different.

At data entry, if the operator enters: 2499
The printers prints: ANSS
Notice that the Entered Char field and the Printed Char
field each have room for three more characters. You can
use these positions to enter slashes (/) or price symbols ($
. / ¢). (Only 3 extra symbols will fit if you use the numbers
0-9). These characters must be part of your cost code if
you intend to define a date or price field as a cost code
field. For example, if your cost code is
Entered Char:123456789.$/
Printed Char:PAINTBRUSHMDL
The printer will translate $11.95 to DAAMHB.
Or, it will translate 08/16/88 to PSLARLSS.
