6 BATCH MODE
In batch mode the UFP-Program generates batch tickets by manual demand, Modbus controlled
demand or time controlled demand.
These batch tickets are printed by a serial printer, according to DIN66258 standard
The latest MID certification holds the following printer setups:
•
EPSON 880 serial printer with DIN66258 protocol
•
Printer OKI 280 elite (Standard Serial Printer) + MFX_4 SDI module
The MFX_4 SDI Serial Data Interface is for transmission of legal data (DIN66258 protocol) to a
standard printer.
6.1 Hardware set-up
The hardware set-up concerning Baud rate, stop bits etc. of the serial printer port is defined in an
initialisation file used for all communication settings: COMS0300.DAT
Under section 2:
These settings must also be done at the printer side.
6.2 Layout of the ticket
The layout of the ticket is fixed in a file named TICK0300.DAT (see next page)
This file can be configured as required.
The file is protected by a CRC-checksum as all initialisation files are.
The CRC-checksums from the 3 data sets used (UFS, UFP and DAT ) are printed on the ticket for
additional security. Any change in the ticket layout is identified by a change in CRC-checksum.
The layout of the ticket consists of free to fill in text and data.
The data is framed as follows:
~ 1 or 3 1 to 999 L or R @
Frame

1=batch start value
2=batch stop value
