If the form contains variables or counters and does not include the Print Automatic
command (PA), the display line will display the 1st variable's prompt.
Type in the data followed by pressing the Enter key with the KDU Plus keyboard or with an
input device attached to the AUX1, AUX2 or PS/2 style port. Input devices, like scanners,
automatically provide the equivalent of pressing the Enter key, that, is a line feed character
(and carriage return), which is hidden from the operator.
• Press the Clr key to clear the entry shown.
• The right and left arrow keys, Del key and the Backspace keys are active during
Forms Mode.
• Press the Exit or Esc keys at any time to quit form retrieval or form data entry.
The KDU Plus will continue prompting the operator to enter data until the all form variables
prompts have been entered. The KDU Plus will then begin prompting for counter variables to
be entered.
If a form has the number of print quantity specified from within the EPL form with the
Print Automatic command (denoted by the PA) from within the form, then the KDU Plus
will display ‘Auto printing’ for two seconds and start printing.
When the form has finished printing, the KDU Plus will return to the main forms menu.
If the form Does Not Include
the Print Automatic specified with the Print Automatic
command (PA) from within the form, then the operator will be prompted to enter the
‘Number of label sets’ to print. The operator can change the quantity and press the Enter key.
The number range is 1 to 9999.
