Explanation
File Names and Comments
You can select up to 10 items to be used for file names. The items specified for fields

to
10
under
Name Type are displayed in order as a file name. The longest file name is 60 characters.
Item
Description
ID No.
Four digit number
The range is 0 to 9999. Four characters are assigned for the file name. For example, if
you set the number to “1,” “0001” will be used in the file name.
One character (tape number)
If you select to use the ID number for the file name, when Tape Number Type is set to
anything other than Off, the tape number is automatically appended to the ID number.
Example: If you have a combination of ID No. “0” and Tape Number Type “a to c (3),” the
file names will be set as follows: 0000a → 0000b → 0000c → 0001a → 0001b
→ 0001c.

you may not be able to set 30 characters.
