- Extended 7-digit numeric format
This is an extended version of the 7-digit numeric format and is different from the 7-digit
numeric format in that:
- the data length can be seven bits rather than eight bits, and
- the stop bit length can be one bit rather than two bits.
- If you select Japanese (katakana) for printed language, the data length is automatically set
to eight bits.
