Four digits of a sample number can be set in the range 0000 to 9999. The number will be
printed in the sample number column when a print sequence is executed.
Using the SAMPLE key and the INDEX key, select the sample number. The same methodol-
ogy used for setting the cone is used for setting the sample number. The SAMPLE key moves
the cursor from left to right through the columns. The INDEX key selects the digits 0 through
9 for each column. After the fifth press of the SAMPLE key, the sequence is completed and the
sample number is set. The display will revert to the main display (Figure 2).
