28 IQ plus 355 Installation Manual
To change the format, use the GFMT 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:
GFMT=FINE TRANSFER CO<NL>32400 WEST
HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G>
GROSS<NL>
A ticket printed using this format might look like the
following:
FINE TRANSFER CO
32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROAD
SMALLTOWN
1345 LB GROSS

communication through the EDP port or are working
at a site where such equipment cannot be used, you
can use the PFORMT menu (see Figure 5-1) to
customize the print formats.
Using the PFORMT menu, you can edit the print
format strings by changing the decimal values of the
ASCII characters in the format string.
NOTE:
Lower-case letters and some special characters
cannot be displayed on the IQ plus 355 front panel
(see the ASCII character chart on page 39) and are
shown as blanks. The IQ plus 355 can send or receive
any ASCII character; the character printed depends on
the particular ASCII character set implemented for the
receiving device.

5.2.3 Using Revolution
The Revolution configuration utility provides a print
formatting grid with a tool bar. The grid allows you to
construct the print format without the formatting
commands (<NL> and <SP>) required by the front
panel or EDP command methods. Using Revolution,
you can type text directly into the grid, then select
weight value fields from the tool bar and place them
where you want them to appear on the printed ticket.
Figure 5-2 shows an example of the Revolution print
formatting grid.
