Entering Information In A String Entry Field
In addition to using the fixed set of ASCII values assigned to this type of parameter,
you can also type text in a string entry field.
• Type the required text in the string entry field – including letters, numbers
and symbols.
• Press [ENTER] to save the text.
Entering Unicode Values
Unicode is a trademark of The Unicode Consortium. To enter a Unicode™ value for
one-time use:
• Press and hold down the [ALT] key while typing a four digit decimal value
that represents the Unicode™ character you want to display.
• Release the [ALT] key.
Important: If you have a set of Unicode™ values that you use frequently, you
may want to create and save them in a pop-up window so that you
can access them whenever necessary. Refer to “Custom Charac-
ters (Unicode™)” on page 197 for details.
