ENTERING BATCH DATA
3
This chapter only applies when using the keyboard
in terminal mode. When using the keyboard in
intelligent mode, your script controls the prompts
you see and each script is different.
This chapter explains how to enter batch data from the keyboard.
You can enter numbers, letters, and a variety of symbols (including
punctuation and international characters) from the keyboard. See
Appendix B, "Character Sets" for information about international
characters.
Some fields specifically require numeric or alphabetic data. If you
try to enter numeric data for an alpha field, or alphabetic data for a
numeric field, the printer does not accept the data. Type the
correct data and press
N
.
To enter numeric data, press the key that shows the number you
want. The screen displays the number and the cursor moves to
the next position in the field. This is also how you enter a period
(.), comma (,), or dollar sign ($). To enter alpha characters, press
the key that shows the letter you want. The screen displays the
character and the cursor moves to the next position in the field.
Here is an example of how to enter the word Red.
