The system awaits the entry of a font with the allowed numbers or
letters.
Example:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
0123456789
These fonts must be entered in the sort sequence which is also important
for the print editing of serial numbers.

System Response

relevant print program. Print editing is used, for example, in the
printing of delivery notes or sales documents. Either the numbers font
