Function 65 Configure Print Formats
Use function 65 to modify print formats to meet your print requirements. The print
formats are grouped into PAGES that are used for generating print data onto a
form. Each page is organized into rows and columns as follows:
Line No. Column
No.
Item No.
Line No. = Line number on the page to print the item on.
Column No. = Column position where item print begins.
Item No. = Item to print.
Configure Print Formats
Print format design requires you to become familiar with the PAGE LIST and the
PRINT ITEM LIST. The PAGE LIST describes how each PAGE is used. The
PRINT ITEM LIST describes what ITEMS can be included in each page. Use the
print format worksheets to design new print formats. The PRINT FORMAT
DESIGN EXAMPLE illustrates how a print format is designed. A list of the default
print formats is found in DEFAULT PRINT FORMATS. The print formats
(PAGES) are initialized to factory settings when the Initialize System Parameters
function is used. (parameter function 73).
