Documentation

Definition

Determines where and which additional characters (formatting characters) are to be inserted in the product ID by the system when the product ID is displayed or printed.

Use

Procedure

When specifying a template, indicate significant characters with an underscore.

Example

Product ID length    10

Product ID    12345678 (significant characters)

Template    __-_____-_

As a result, the product ID is output as follows:
12-34567-8

In the above example, the formatting characters are the two hyphens.

Caution
Formatting characters defined in the template cannot be used as significant characters in a product ID. For this reason, you are generally not advised to use letters or digits as formatting characters.
