OPERATORS MANUAL
C.7 FORMATS - GENERAL
Stampers can store in resident memory up to 20
formats with up to 26 fields of information in each
format. Data is entered to these formats using a
keyboard for off-line stamping
- described in Section 1 of this manual - and / or
through the RS232 line using the Stored Format
Protocols as described in Section IX of the 2500
Technical Operators Manual.
Format Variables
Formats can be designed and programmed by
the operator. Every format can be designed
individually with many options. it is important to
lay out these options before creating any format.
The options and variables for formatting are:
A Selection of 1 to 26 fields of information.
B Selection of character spacing for each field.
C Selection of the location of the fields on the
card (X and Y coordinates).
D Selection of type of numeric character
(Standard or OCR).
E Selection of incremental counters.
Up to 4 different counters per format.
(Increment or Decrement of steps of 1 to 9).
F Selection of incremental counters for
duplicated cards and duplicated fields.
G There are three modulus check digit algotithms,
Mod 10 Luhn, Mod 11 Continuous, and Mod
11 Non-continuous for both on-line and off-
line modes.An on-line check digit is calculated
and entered by the stamper. Off-line (LCD
Edit), the operator must enter the proper check
digit.
H Programming of protected data which will
always be in the format.This is fixed repetitive
information.
I Field duplication: This eliminates the need to
re-enter the same data when it is repeated
elsewhere on the card.
L Selection of the number of duplicate cards to
be embossed copies (1 to 999 copies).
