The time and date information is overwritten by the
C
(space) characters. When you have cleared the time and
date in for ma tion, set DIP switch 3-8 off to disable the switch module and prevent ac ci den tal changes.
To clear time and date information using a serial command string, enter the following (with no spaces be-
tween characters):

Setting ID Codes
If the switch module is installed in the SP2200, you can enter ID codes to be printed with weight data when
the printer is in weight extraction mode. ID codes must be 8 digits in length and use only the digits 0 through
9 and the fol low ing char ac ters: colon, period, and space. An ID code can be either a constant value, such as
a part number or location code, or an incremented value. Incremented ID codes serve as counters, with the
value increased by one for each printing request.
ID codes are entered one character at a time: Use the
+
and
–
buttons on the switch module to select the char-
ac ter to be entered, then press
SET
to enter the character. To enter the colon, period, or space characters in an
ID code, use the A, B, and C characters on the switch module:

Select
colon A
period B
space C
4.6.1 Setting a Constant ID Code
To set a constant ID code using the switch module, set DIP switch 3-8 on to enable the switch module.
The following table shows the sequence of characters that are entered to set a constant ID code. The fi rst char-
acter entered,
E
, indicates that the switch module is being used to set an ID code. The remaining eight char-
acters represent the ID code itself. Characters are entered one at a time: Use the
+
and
–
buttons on the switch
module to select the character to be entered, then press
SET
to enter the character.

Note:
When you begin entering the ID code information, the FAULT lamp on the printer front panel
will light. Once you have entered the eight characters required for the code, the FAULT lamp will go
off.
