Counterpart User Manual - Print Formatting 73
The 500-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. The two header formats as limited to 100 characters each.
The default Counterpart print formats are shown in Table 7-2 and Table 7-3:

7.2 Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT , NFMT and CFMT formats using the EDP
port, the front panel ( PFORMT menu), and the Revolution ® configuration utility.
7.2.1 Using the EDP Port
With a personal computer, terminal, 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.FMT or NFMT.FMT ) and press TARE
(Enter) . For example, to check the current configuration of the GFMT.FMT format, type GFMT.FMT and press ENTER .
The indicator responds by sending the current configuration for the gross format:
GFMT.FMT=<G> GROSS<NL>
To change the format, use the GFMT.FMT or NFMT 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:
Note
Indicator must be placed in the config mode with CONFIG shown on the display.
