6.3.3 Using Serial Commands
With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to one of the 920i serial ports, you can use the
serial command set described in Table 6-1 on page 47 to customize the print format strings.
To view the current setting of a format string, type the name of the print format and press the enter key. For
example, to check the current conÞguration of the GFMT format, type GFMT.FMT and press enter . The
indicator responds by sending the current conÞguration for the gross format:
GFMT.FMT=<G> GROSS<NL>
To change the format, use the GFMT.FMT or NFMT.FMT serial command followed by an equals sign (=) and
the modiÞed print format string. For example, to add the name and address of a company to the gross format, you
could send the following serial command:
GFMT.FMT=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G> GROSS<NL>
A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:
MOE'S DUMP
2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD
SMALLTOWN
1345 LB GROSS
The ticket above could also be formatted by specifying the company address information in the HDRFMT1
ticket format, then substituting the <H1> command for the address in the GFMT ticket format:
HDRFMT1=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2>
GFMT.FMT=<H1><G> GROSS<NL>
