Finally, pressing
ENTER
sets the feature to the displayed number. The VersaJet LC
automatically prevents “out-of-range” numbers.
Keyboard and Display
Mistakes
If you press a wrong key — for instance, using a key other than a command key when trying to
select a feature — the VersaJet LC will display a blinking error message for about four seconds;
often the error message will include some information about the correct keys that should be
pressed.
Command Key Features
DEL
Adjusts the time after a box is detected before printing is started.
SIZE
Adjusts the size of the dot; how much ink is used to print a message.
WIDTH
Adjusts the width of a message; a smaller number makes the message narrower.
MSG
The MSG command key is used to type in print messages. After pressing
MSG
, press
the letter, numbers or spaces that should appear in the print message; if unwanted characters
are in the message — from a previous message, for instance — use
DEL
or the
SPACE
key to
erase them. Figure characters are put into a message by pressing
UPPER KEY
plus the letter
with the desired figure character shown above it.
There are seven special printing effects that can be put into a message: time, expiry, bold,
count, pallet count and high and (medium characters if available). (High and medium characters
must be on line 1,
“MENU, 1"
for the first high character printhead). Line 3 for the second and
5 for the third. In each case, pressing
FUNC
along with a letter —
T, E, B, C, P or H
creates
the special effect. Then, various letters or numbers are entered. Finally, the same
FUNC
—
plus letter combination is pressed to “close” the expression. When
FUNC
plus
T, E, B, C, P or
H
is used in the
MSG
feature, a lower case version of the character appears in the message;
other wise all letters are capitals. Figure 4 shows how a buffer with date codes, count codes
and pallet codes might appear in
the display

Effects
The (
FUNC+B
) “bold” effect causes double-width characters to be printed. The “count” effect
causes any numbers of letters between two
FUNC + C’
s to be incremented every time a box is
printed. The (
FUNC+P
) “palled” effect is like the count, except that it counts multiples, i.e.,
pallets (The pallet size can be set with the menu pallet feature, described later).
