4.7.1
Customizing Files
The serial I/O option offers flexibility for an operator to customize the serial output format for individual system
requirements but must be limited to 30 character codes. The selection of the associated custom print file is
performed automatically by serial port and the data mode (gross, net, total recall, or special) that the UMC600 is
currently in at the time of a print.
The custom print supports:
•
Specifying starting and terminating characters (STX, CR, LF)
•
Adding printer control characters
•
Custom headers and titles
•
Customizing units to ounce, tons, or pounds
•
Customized parameters such as gross weight instead of GR
•
Custom insertion of special parameters such as time/date and identification number
•
Delays where and when required
•
Truck mode custom printing
•
Custom continuous serial protocol
•
Custom “P” print out in duplex mode
NOTE: Custom print does not support RS485 protocol.
