The default
320IS Plus
print formats are shown in Table 6-2:
The , , and commands listed in Table 6-1 print the gross, net, and tare weights in
non-displayed units—that is, in the units not currently displayed on the indicator.
ID numbers included in the print format string ( command) must be set using the UID=VAL EDP
command.
The 300-character limit of each print format string includes the output field length of the print formatting
commands, not the command length. For example, if the indicator is configured to show a decimal point, the
command generates an output field of 13 characters: the 10-character weight value (including decimal
point), one space, and a two-digit units identifier.
6.2 Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT, NFMT and formats using the EDP port,
the front panel (PFORMT menu), and the Revolution® configuration utility.
6.2.1 Using the EDP Port
With a computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to the I/O Module EDP port, you can use the EDP
command set to customize the print format strings.
To view the current setting of a format string, type the name of the string (GFMT, NFMT or SPFMT) and press
ENTER
. For example, to check the current configuration of the GFMT format, type GFMT and press
ENTER
. The
indicator responds by sending the current configuration for the gross format:
GFMT= GROSS
To change the format, use the GFMT, NFMT or SPFMT EDP command followed by an equals sign (=) and the
modified print format string. For example, to add the name and address of a company to the gross format, you
could send the following EDP command:
GFMT=FINE TRANSFER CO32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROADSMALLTOWN GROSS
A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:
FINE TRANSFER CO
32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROAD
