Print Formatting
The CW-90/CW-90X provides seven print formats,
GFMT, NFMT, ACC.FMT, STRM.FM, BUS.FMT, HDRFMT1
and
HDRFMT2
. These determine the format of the
printed output when the
key is pressed or when a
KPRINT
EDP command is received. The
GFMT
and
NFMT
will print to all ports assigned as
DEMAND
in the
TRIGGE
parameter, based on whether a tare is in the
indicator. The
ACCFMT
will print to all
DEMAND
ports
when the
ACCUM
is displayed. The
SFMT
will be sent
as a
STREAM
if
TRIGGE
is set to
STREAM
on any port.
The
HDRFMT
s must be called from another format.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 
300 characters of information, such as company name 
and address, on printed tickets. You can use the 
indicator front panel (
PFORMT
menu), EDP commands,
or the Revolutionconfiguration utility to customize the 
print formats.
Note
Print formats are limited to 300 characters.
Press the down arrow to cycle to the previous 
character. Press the up arrow to cycle to the 
next character. To send a decimal point, enclose it in 
brackets e.g., <.> or cycle through the characters until the 
decimal point is displayed.

Print Formatting Commands
Table 7-1 lists commands you can use to format the 
gross, net and count print formats. Commands included 
in the format strings must be enclosed between < and > 
delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are 
printed as text on the ticket. Text characters can include 
any ASCII character that can be printed by the output 
device.

Gross, net, and tare weights are 8 digits in length, including 
sign and decimal point, followed by a space and a one- to 
five-digit units identifier. Total field length with units identifier 
is 10-14 characters. Depending on what units are 
configured, the units identifier will be lb/oz, lb, oz, g, or kg.
Gross, net, tare, and accumulator weights can be printed in 
any configured weight units by adding the following 
modifiers to the gross, net, tare, and accumulator weight 
commands: /P (primary units), /D (displayed units), /S 
(secondary units), /T (tertiary units). If not specified, the 
current displayed units (/D) is assumed. Example: To format 
a ticket to show net weight in secondary unitsm, use the 
following command: 
ID and consecutive number (CN) fields are 1–6 characters in 
length, as required.
* If nn is not specified, 1 is assumed. Value must be in the 
range 1–99.
** After receiving an SU command, the indicator sends 
unformatted data until the next SU command is received. 
Unformatted data omits decimal points, leading and trailing 
characters.
