7.5 General Parameters
Clicking on General Parameters in the Setup menu opens a dialog to set various parameters
used in the Label Editor.
The following items can be set.
Note: Some of the following fields may not appear, depending on which version (AC-3000,
Astra, etc.) of the Label Editor you are using.
Min Label Number
Used on the Astra version to specify the minimum label number. Typically 10 (international)
or 20 (USA).
Scale Type
Used on the Astra to specify which Astra model (country) is being used.
Logo Area Offset
The offset address of the logo data area in the EPROM. Required if you wish to load logo
data from an EPROM file (see the Load from File command in the Unit Property Definition
dialog for details).
Logo Area Size
Specify the size of the logo data area in the EPROM.
EPROM #2 Start Address
Specify the start address of the #2 EPROM (the EPROM containing the label format and
logo data).
Label Area Offset
The offset address of the label data area in the EPROM. Required if you wish to save label
data in an EPROM file.
Label Area Size
Specify the size of the label data area in the EPROM.
Text Area Offset
The offset address of the standard text data area in the EPROM. Required if you wish to
load Text Table ID data from an EPROM file (see the Load from File command in the Unit
Property Definition dialog for details).
Maximum Number of Labels
Specify the maximum number of labels that can be stored on the scales. This determines
the number of label slots that appear in Label List windows.
Maximum Units per Label
Specify the maximum number of print fields per label. This number defines the size of the
label format data transmitted to the scales (unused print field data is set to zero).
Data Packet Size
Specifies the size (in bytes) of the data for each print field transmitted to the scales. The
data packet is padded with zeros up to the specified packet size.
Reverse Feed Printer
In order to feed the label being printed far enough out of the label printer for you to remove
it, standard Ishida label printers must print the first few millimeters of the following label. This
section at the bottom of the label is called the Òpreprint sectionÓ. The Label Editor contains
special processing to deal with the preprint section (See 8. Some Background on Ishida
Label Formats for further details).
However, future printers may incorporate a reverse feed function removing the need for
preprinting the bottom of the label. In this case, select the Reverse Feed Printer check box
to disable the preprint processing in the Label Editor.
Preprint Length
If not using a reverse feed printer, specify the length of the preprint section.
