19 Functional character settings
If the character number for the current or expiry date and time value exceeds the value
set for “Number of characters”, the lower figure is marked. For example, if you set “2” for
“Number of characters” and the expiry date and time value is 2003, “03” is marked.
Setting range: “1” to “9”
• “Date/time type”:
Set the period type for date and time.
If “Week” or “Year (Week-based)” is set, you must first specify the settings for “Update
day” and “First week of the year” in the “System settings” screen.
‒ “Year”: Based on the Gregorian calendar year (standard).
‒ “Year (Week-based)”: Variation of the Gregorian calendar year that is based on a
whole number of weeks every year. It may happen that the first week of the year
contains a few last days of the previous year, or that the last week of the previous
year contains January 1.
‒ “Month”
‒ “Day”
‒ “Hour (24)”: The time is displayed in 24-hour notation (0 to 23).
‒ “Hour (12)”: The time is displayed in 12-hour notation (0 to 11).
‒ “AM/PM”: The 12-hour system divides the 24 hours of a day into two periods lasting
12 hours each. The first 12-hour period runs from 0:00:00 (midnight) to 11:59:59
(noon). The numbers are followed by “AM” (ante meridiem: before noon). The second
12-hour period covers the 12 hours from 0:00:00 (noon) to 11:59:59 (midnight). The
numbers are followed by “PM” (post meridiem: after noon).
‒ “Minute”
‒ “Second”
‒ “Week”
‒ “365 days”: Input “1” for January 1, “2” for January 2, “365” for December 31 (for a
normal year), etc.
• “Zero indication”:
Specify if the date and time values are marked with or without zero fill.
‒ “Zero fill”: With zero fill, right-aligned
‒ “Left align”: Without zero fill, left-aligned with spaces on the right
‒ “Right align”: Without zero fill, right-aligned with spaces on the left
‒ “No spaces”: Without spaces, left-aligned
Character strings representing the functional characters for date and time
• Date and time with zero fill: %0N:Xn
• Date and time without zero fill, right-aligned: %_N:Xn (the underscore (_) represents a
space)
• Date and time without zero fill, left-aligned: %N_:Xn (the underscore (_) represents a
space)
