Custom Print Format Programming

By selecting the custom print options, it is possible to design a print output to

conform to almost any given requirements.

Custom data sent via the ‘PRINT’ function (either front panel button, remote input,

or external voltage free contact) is enabled by selecting the ‘C’ option under F4.7,

Weight Print Format, of the SET-UP procedure. Similarly, custom totals data is

enabled via F4.8, Totals Print Format.

A total of eighty (80) print codes may be entered as a combination of weight print

codes and totals print codes. The codes are each one byte (8 bits) long. Any value

less than 128 is treated as a literal ASCII character and will print as such. Codes

greater than 127 are special print codes and the DWM-IV will interpret them

according to the chart below to perform the described action. The code 150 is in

essence a NO OPERATION code (print zero spaces) and may be used to reserve

space if later it is determined that codes must be inserted . In this way, not all of the

codes need be re-entered. Merely replace the 150 codes with the required ones. A
