Placeholders in auto-endorse prefix strings: Fujitsu scanners

This table lists placeholder and formatting characters that you can use in the Prefix string setting when the scanner’s Auto endorse function is enabled. If you want a counter to be included in the endorsed string, you must use a placeholder for the counter.

Note: For Fujitsu model 5900, type a percent sign (%) at the end of the prefix string as a placeholder for a counter.
