7.0 Print Formatting
The 480 provides multiple print formats, GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT and SPFMT, that determine the format of the
printed output when the
PRINT key is pressed. If a tare has been entered or acquired, NFMT is used; otherwise,
GFMT is used.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 300 characters of information, such as company name and
address, on printed tickets. You can use the indicator front panel (PFORMT menu) to customize the print formats.
Display will only show capital letters. Press the down arrow to view the ASCII character decimal value on the
second menu level. Refer to Table 9-5 on page 55 and Table 9-6 on page 56 to view the ASCII character
charts.
7.1 Print Formatting Commands
Table 7-1 lists commands you can use to format the gross and net print formats. Commands included in the format
strings must be enclosed between < and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on
the ticket. Text characters can include any ASCII character that can be printed by the output device.
