EDITING HEADER SCREEN
This screen is used to create or change the header information that will appear at the top of the
printer receipt ticket. Space is available for 15 lines of approximately 40 characters (subject to
printer).
It is important to note two things about Screen 1: The single box on the left is the end of text marker.
When a header is entered, this marker must be deleted and re-entered AT THE END of the header
text. The PDPI-O program stops looking for header information when it sees this character. If text is
entered after this character, the program will not read it and it will not appear on the ticket. If this
character is not inserted at the end of the header text, a lot of empty space may print on the ticket in
the header area. The column of boxes on the right indicates the length of each line. As text is in-
serted, any characters that get “pushed off the end” of the line will disappear and will not print on the
ticket. If this happens, the text must be re-entered.
All header text will print out in capital letters only. These boxes do not print on the receipt ticket.
DOUBLE/TAKE Moves the highlight box left or right on a line.
BIG/SMALL Moves the highlight box up or down a line.
PLAY Will change the ‘Editing Header’ screen (as shown on the next page) and
provide a means to change a highlighted character.
START Accepts the header displayed and proceeds to the next setup screen.

NOTE: adding a character in the middle of existing text must be done in 2 steps: insert a space, then change
the character (the space) to one selected from the symbol grid.
4) Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all header information is entered.
5) Repeat step 1 and 2, once more, to select the END OF TEXT marker box from the symbol grid making certain
