Version 3.5
A user defined static text field can be associated with each of these conditions. A flag field is enclosed
in curly brackets {}. The example below assigns the static text, "
Keyed
", to the
Keyed Weigh In
flag.
This text will be printed on the ticket whenever the
Keyed Weigh In
flag is set for a transaction.
Example:
{Keyed Weigh In "Keyed"}
Unit of Measure
Converting Weights on a Ticket
All weights stored in the database are based on the unit of measure the scale indicator is set to (e.g.
pounds or kilograms). This weight can be converted using the following keywords ...
•
Pounds
•
Tons
•
Kilograms
•
Metric Tons
Place the keyword after the database field within the square brackets. When the unit of measure is yards
or count, the
Net
value is not converted.
Example:
[Gross Tons], [Weight In Kilograms], [Net Weight Metric Tons]
Printing the Unit of Measure
If the word
Units
is added to the end of the key words within the square brackets, the name of the unit
will print next to the net value.
Example:
[Weight In Ton Units] will print ‘2 Tons’, [Net Weight Pounds Units] will print ‘4000
Pounds’
Column Positioning
To position database fields, use the
COLnn
command. The
COLnn
command must be followed by a
space. When multiple
COLnn
commands are used in one line, they must be in sequential order.
Legal Example: COL20 [Account] COL50 [AccountName]
Illegal Example: COL50 [Account] COL20 [AccountName]
