4.7 Option 7 – Serial I/O
The serial I/O option offers flexibility for an operator to customize the serial output format for individual system
requirements. The selections under option 7 may be divided into three groups.
• Customizing of serial output data.
• Setup of MACRO files.
• Those files that affect serial operation.
These sections are addressed in detail below.
4.7.1 Customizing Files
The serial I/O option offers flexibility for an operator to customize the serial output format for individual system
requirements. The selection of the associated custom print file is performed automatically by serial port and the data
mode (gross, net, total recall, or special) that the IQ 700 is currently in at the time of a print.
The custom print supports:
• Specifying starting and terminating characters (STX, CR, LF)
• Adding printer control characters
• Custom headers and titles
• Customizing units to ounce, tons, or pounds
• Customized parameters such as gross weight instead of GR
• Custom insertion of special parameters such as time/date and identification number
• Delays where and when required
• Truck mode custom printing
• Custom continuous serial protocol
• Custom “P” print out in duplex mode
NOTE: Custom print does not support RS485 protocol.
