occurred. A flag field is enclosed in curly brackets ({}). The example below assigns the
static text, "Keyed", to the Keyed Weigh In flag.
{Keyed Weigh In "Keyed"}
Whenever the inbound weight has been manually entered by the operator, the text
"Keyed" will be printed on the ticket.
Printer Commands
Some printers are capable of executing formatting commands. Commands can be sent to
any printer except the Windows Default printer. Using these commands can be helpful
when printing to a preprinted form. Enclose the decimal version of the command in
double back slashes. The example below cuts and ejects a ticket from a Swecoin printer.
\\27 12 30\\
Consult the User’s Guide of your printer for a complete list of valid printer commands.
Column Positioning
To position text at a specific column, use the following syntax:
COL20 [Account Name]
The example above will place the account name at print column 20 of the current line.
The COLnn command must be followed by a space. When multiple COLnn commands
are used in one line, they must be in ascending order. The example below is illegal
because COL50 cannot come before COL20:
COL50 [Account] COL20 [Account Name]
To right justify text within a field use the RIGHTnn command. For example the
following command will right justify Weight In within a 20 character field:
RIGHT20 [Weight In]
To left justify text within a field use the LEFTnn command. For example, the following
command will left justify the Weigh In within a 20 character field:
LEFT20 [Weigh In]
