Note
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.
7.2 Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for
customizing the
GFMT , NFMT and CFMT formats using
the EDP port, the front panel ( PFORMT menu), and the
Revolution configuration utility.
7.2.1 Using the EDP Port
With a personal computer, terminal, or remote
keyboard attached to the CW-90/CW-90X 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 or NFMT ) 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:
Note
Indicator must be placed in the config mode
with CONFIG shown on the display.
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
SMALLTOWN
1345 lb GROSS
7.2.2 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 7-1) 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 CW-90/
CW-90X front panel and are shown as blanks.
The CW-90/CW-90X can send or receive any ASCII
character; the character printed depends on the particular
ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.
