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
