Placeholders in auto-endorse prefix strings: Canon scanners
Applies to many Canon models, for example DR-5080C, DR-7580C, and others.
This table lists placeholder and formatting characters that you can use in the Prefix string setting when your 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.
| Character | Description |
| <C> | Placeholder for single-digit counter. |
| <C#> | Placeholder for counter. Replace "#" with the number of digits you want the counter to have. Example: <C3> results in a 3-digit counter. |
| <TIME> | Inserts the time. |
| <MDY> | Inserts the date. Format: Month/Day/Year |
| <DMY> | Inserts the date. Format: Day/Month/Year |
| <YMD> | Inserts the date. Format: Year/Month/Day |
Please refer to the documentation that came with your scanner if you need more information.
