320IS Plus Installation Manual

The default

320IS Plus

print formats are shown in Table 6-2:

The <G2>, <N2>, and <T2> commands listed in Table 6-1 print the gross, net, and tare weights in
non-displayed units—that is, in the units not currently displayed on the indicator.

ID numbers included in the print format string (<UID> command) must be set using the UID=VAL EDP

command.
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

<G> command generates an output field of 13 characters: the 10-character weight value (including decimal

point), one space, and a two-digit units identifier.

Customizing Print Formats

The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT, NFMT and formats using the EDP port,

the front panel (PFORMT menu), and the Revolution® configuration utility.

6.2.1

Using the EDP Port

With a computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to the I/O Module 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, NFMT or SPFMT) 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=<G> GROSS<NL>

To change the format, use the GFMT, NFMT or SPFMT 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 CO<NL>32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G> GROSS<NL>

A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:

FINE TRANSFER CO
32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROAD
SMALLTOWN

1345 LB GROSS

the printed tare weight.
