Date Format
US Format 0
European Format 1
• The US format of mm/dd/yy is the default setting for all models shipped in
the US, Canada and Mexico.
• The European format of dd/mm/yy is the default setting for the Australian,
UK and European models.
• If you switch formats, you must reset the date (SET DATE) in the new
format also.
Set Date
For correct date display, the 6-digit date must be set in the date format you plan
to use. By default, all US, Canada and Mexico models are using the US date
format of dd/mm/yy. If you change the date format, you must re-set the date to
match the new format. For example, to set a date of January 20, 1999, you
would enter 012099 (US format) or 200199 (European format). The date can be
scanned in from the bar coded Setup Menu or entered from the RF Terminal
keypad. To display the date during operation, press the STATUS key.
Set Time
The time is set using a 4-digit military hhmm format. For example, to set the
time to 3:08 p.m., you would enter 1508. The time can be scanned in from the
bar coded Setup Menu or entered from the RF Terminal keypad. To display the
time during operation, press the STATUS key.
Display of Year
2 digit 0
4 digit 1
• By default, the RF Terminal is configured to display and transmit the year in
a 2-digit format; i.e. 1999 would transmit and display as 99.
• Before you change the RF Terminal to display a 4-digit year, i.e. 1999, make
sure that the software receiving data from the RF Terminal is set up to accept
a 4-digit year.
