Function 65: Configure Print Formats
Use function 65 to modify print formats to meet your print requirements. The print formats are
grouped into PAGES that are used for generating print data onto a form. Each page is organized
into rows and columns as follows:
Line No. Column No. Item No.
Line No. = Line number on the page to print the item on.
Column No. = Column position where item print begins.
Item No. = Item to print.
Print format design requires you to become familiar with the PAGE LIST and the PRINT ITEM
LIST. The PAGE LIST describes how each PAGE is used. The PRINT ITEM LIST describes
what ITEMS can be included in each page. Use the print format worksheets to design new print
formats. The PRINT FORMAT DESIGN EXAMPLE illustrates how a print format is designed.
A list of the default print formats is found in DEFAULT PRINT FORMATS. The print formats
(PAGES) are initialized to factory settings when the Initialize System Parameters function is
used. (Parameter Function 73).
