Truncate Date is only active for offsets with months and years.
The different types of offset are applied in the following order:
Year
Month
Week, Day, Hours and Minutes.
Example: Current day = 31.01.2013, plus 1 month = 31.02.2013
Truncate Day active:
Since 31.02.2013 is an invalid date, it is truncated to
Date: 28.02.2013
Truncate day inactive
Since 31.02.2013 is an invalid date, it goes to

Update Policy:
The time can be updated in three ways:
• On Jobstart: When the label is loaded into the printer memory the
actual time when loading will be stored and this time will be printed at
each label when printing.
• Realtime: If the clock is required to be updated after every print, this
box must be activated. Printing speed will not be affected if this option
has been selected.
• Specify Time: Day and time can be specified for when the variable
should be updated. This is done by going back to the specified day,
and then calculate the offset:
Actual day is Wednesday. Update should be done on Mondays.
The variable will update the output as if today was Monday.
This way an entire week’s production that is made on a single day can be
simulated.
• Update Day: The update day can be set.
• Update Hour: The update hour can be set.
• Update Minute: The update minute can be set.
Example:
Actual day: Monday the 15 Apr 2013
Update Day: Friday
