M150MC4 Print Hour and Minute Format Settings

Customizing the minute format allows you to tailor your printouts. You have the option to select 12-Hour or 24-Hour format. For minutes, you may select standard minutes, hundredths, twentieths, or tenths of an hour. The printed hour and minute format does not need to match the displayed time format. Use the steps below to select your preferred format. 

When you are setting a digit or an option on the display, flashing means that it is ready to be changed. You must press SELECT until you reach the desired digit or option. Then press SET to lock the desired value in place. Printing is always disabled while settings are being changed. Once the final SET has been completed in any given operation, printing is enabled.
