The data you enter in a cost code field is converted to a special
code at printing. The data you enter must be part of a translation
table set up in Printer Options. If, for example, 1, 5, and 9 are
included in the cost code translation table, you can type 159 and
press e .
COST CODE? 159
After the conversion, the numeric or alpha translation for 159 (for
example, ABH) prints on the supply.
The code that prints depends on the translation table. See
"Defining a Cost Code" in Chapter 5.
