&N = page number 3
&T = current time

1 Character sequences are not case sensitive.
2 If the expanded text is larger than 255 characters, the printed output may be distorted or cut off.
3 These values are based on the computer’s Control Panel settings. See the Microsoft Windows user
manual for information about the Control Panel.
Aligning the Headers
Left justified text is the default alignment.
•
For centered text: type &| before the text or character sequence.
•
For right justified text: type &|&| before the text or character
sequence.
For example, if you want to print this:
type &P&|&N&|&D
Project 1 2 2/3/95
text after this
character sequence
is centered
text after this second
character sequence is
right justified
Important: If alignment is specified in part of a header line, make
sure the text does not overlap. For instance, if left
justified text runs to the center of the page, it will
overlap centered text.
