63 520 Indicator Installation Manual
10.3.1 Using the EDP Port
With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to the 520 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 print format 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 or NFMT 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=JOE'S SALVAGE1167 EAST HIGHWAY ROADANYTOWN GROSS
A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:
JOE'S SALVAGE
1167 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD
ANYTOWN
1345 LB GROSS
The ticket above could also be formatted by specifying the company address information in the HDRFMT ticket
format, then substituting the command for the address in the GFMT ticket format:
HDRFMT=JOE'S SALVAGE1167 EAST HIGHWAY ROADANYTOWNGFMT= GROSS
10.3.2 Using the Front Panel
If you have no access to equipment for communication through the EDP port or are working at a site where such
equipment cannot be used, you can use the PFORMT menu (see Figure 10-1) to customize the print formats. Using
the PFORMT menu, you can edit the print format strings by changing the decimal values of the ASCII characters
in the format string.

Note
Lower-case letters and some special characters cannot be displayed on the
520
front panel (see the ASCII
character chart on page 82) and are shown as blanks. The
520
can send or receive any ASCII character; the
character printed depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.
