IQ plus 355 Installation Manual

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=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

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 5-1) 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 IQ plus 355 front panel

(see the ASCII character chart on page 39) and are

shown as blanks. The IQ plus 355 can send or receive

any ASCII character; the character printed depends on

the particular ASCII character set implemented for the

receiving device.

Using Revolution

The Revolution configuration utility provides a print

formatting grid with a tool bar. The grid allows you to

construct the print format without the formatting

commands ( and ) required by the front

panel or EDP command methods. Using Revolution,

you can type text directly into the grid, then select

weight value fields from the tool bar and place them

where you want them to appear on the printed ticket.
Figure 5-2 shows an example of the Revolution print

formatting grid.
