NOTE: It is recommended to use the internal drivers within LABELVIEW or CODEOSFT to use specific date formats. 

Date formats for printers are limited to the format available. Some may not support all date format types.                                                                                                                                                        Change the Date type from Software date to Printer date to see available formats supported by your printer.
