You can manually enter the text string or date to be used during annotation, or you
can select from the Prefix drop-down list to insert pre-formatted date information into
the prefix string. The date format choices are shown in Table E-2.
Note Once set, the contents of the prefix are identical for every endorsing and
annotation occurrence for a batch. The counter, if enabled, will always be printed
following the prefix (base) string. The number of allowable characters varies by
scanner. Exceeding the maximum string length will result in the string being
truncated to the maximum length, along with an audible alert. Because the endorser/
annotation string is made up of a text prefix and a counter, consider their combined
length when setting the string length.
Directly below the Prefix box are the Top and Left text boxes, which you can use to
specify the vertical and horizontal position of the annotation text string. You can use
the options in the Units group to specify text positioning values in inches, millimeters,
or pixels (DPI dependent). The default unit of measurement is inches.
In the Top text box, you may specify the distance of the endorsing and annotation
string from the top of each page. The default and minimum value is zero, but the
maximum value is dependent on the paper size. Whole numbers are required when
entering pixels and millimeters, but when values are specified in inches, they can be
entered in .01-inch increments.
In the Left box, the distance of an annotation string from the left edge of a page can be
specified. The default and minimum value is zero, but the endorsing string is never
