Setting Up Custom Transmits (Smart I/O) for the UMC600IS/IQ700IS
Make sure to denote the specific file you are working
on and add some sort of file description. The indicator
formats the output according to the File 7.1 when the
gross weight is on the display. It is used to print the
gross weight only. You should not attempt to print the
tare or net weights in File 7.1 (you must use File 7.2
for gross/tare/net prinouts). If you attempt to print the
net or tare weights from File 7.1, the indicator will
consider that to be an invalid file and print the gross
weight data using its default format.
Open the manual to the Parameter Code Command
Chart (see Table 6 on page 6). This chart lists special
codes that are not actually sent to the printer, but
instead tell the indicator to send one of its internal
parameters such as weight data and time and date. All
of the parameter control codes are numbers above
127. The indicator uses an eight data bit word,
meaning that it can only send ASCII characters 1-127
(0 is a NULL and ignored by the indicator). The
parameter control codes tell the indicator to print one
of the indicator’s parameters or to call one of the
macro files.
At this point, it is recommended that you get your
indicator, printer (hook up per instructions), and
manual and follow along, or read first and then go
through programming with the indicator.
NOTE: Parameters 200-223 are used in the normal
mode.

key. To
access the first line of the file press

key.
The display shows
01 XXX
. The left two digits show
the line number of your file. The right three digits
display the ASCII equivalent of the character you
enter. Refer to the ASCII Control Code Chart or the
Parameter Control Code Chart for the ASCII Code
you wish to enter. To initiate the print, enter a “Start of
Text" character in line 1. Press
2,
then press
ENT
. (An
alternative way to enter the STX {002} character is to
press
2
then advance to the next entry by pressing
1SET POINT
, but you will not see the code you just
entered). The display momentarily shows
ENTER

Print from File 7.1
NOTE: If the control code 400 is used in a custom
print, you MUST enable and set OPTION 3.
You can readily see that the sample print format
doesn’t exceed 30 lines of code. Let’s add a company
name or logo to the ticket. We can do this by setting
up a MACRO. This MACRO can be called into any
format we set up by using the correct Parameter
Control Code. According to the Parameter Control
Code Chart, if this information is to be used in a print
format, enter a code 600 - call Macro 1.
