#VDD Define date and time variable
Definition
Definition of a variable which can contain date and/or time.
The device must be equipped with a realtime-clock.
The command must be placed between #ER and #Q!
Syntax #VDD/name/u/o/TIMETEXT#G Group H (without AP 4.4)
name = Name of the variable (admissible characters see page 3).
u = (void) as u = W.
= W (Default setting) No update. The time is read into the variable once. This is
done during the compilation of the layout.
= U The time is read repeatedly during the running print job. This happens
immediately after printing the relevant output field (#VW…), but counts only
for the same field on the next label.
The setting is not suitable for dispensers.
Reason: If the next label is printed considerably later (e.g. in single-start
mode with footswitch), the following happens: The output field on label 2
contains the time, at which the same field on label 1 was printed.
Example
Single-start mode
Label 1 is printed at 10.50 h, label 2 at 11.03 h. In this case, the imprint of
label 2 shows the time 10.50!
= Y (Recommended for dispensers) The time is read repeatedly during the
printing of a label (approx. all 5 seconds).
v = A Different times may be printed on a label (if option U or Y is applied).
o = (blank) The current date is printed.
= 0 The current date is printed.
= int Days offset: The current date is calculated forward by the entered number
of days (1 to 65000).
= Mint Months offset: The current date is calculated forward by the entered
number of months (1 to 65000).
(Adding the letter M to the integer value changes the offset from day to
month!)
TIMETEXT = String containing Time and Text (ASCII-characters) in any order. Times are
marked with the control character (^ ). Insert required Text as ASCII
characters (without control characters) in the TIMETEXT-string.
Time formats:
= ^ z 1/100 seconds (not with group H: "^ z" always leads to "00" printout)
= ^ s seconds
= ^ m minutes
= ^ h hours
= ^ D day of the month
= ^ d (Only for group H) day of the year
= ^ W 3-figure day (e.g. 001 for the 1 st day of the year)
= ^ M month
