PLACING A PAGE
Format Selection
The encoder shows a single hyphen in the display to prompt for a format selection. One digit,
0-9 or A-D, may be entered to select the format of the following pager number. This leading
digit is not a part of the pager capcode, nor will it be sent as any part of the page, but it is used
to distinguish between formats in a multiple format encoder. If the encoder is programmed for
only a single format configuration, then no format digit entry is required and the encoder
displays a string of hyphens equal to the expected capcode entry length.
