Using Front Panel Editing

Using the PFORMT menu (see Figure 3-8), you can edit the print format string by changing the hex values of the
ASCII characters in the format string.

To edit a print format, do the following:

key to show the

EDIT

submenu.

2. Press the

key again to show the print format string. Use the

key and the

key to scroll through the

format. The number position of each character is shown in the two digits at the left of the display.

To Edit a Character:

1. Press the

ENTER

key while the character is displayed. The right most digit blinks, indicating that it can be

changed. Use the

key and

keys to increase or decrease the value, or use the

key to move to the next

digit. Press the

ENTER

key to save any changes and advance to the next character in the string.

2. If done, press the

screen via the EDP interface of the 120 Plus.

• Some characters cannot be displayed on the 120 Plus front panel (See the ASCII character chart in Appendix C - ASCII

Set and Specifications and Appendix E - Front Panel Display Characters on pages 44 and 48.) and are shown as blanks.
