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 Weight flag is set for a transaction.
{Keyed Weigh In "Keyed"}
PRINTER COMMAND FIELD
Every printer has its own set of commands. In some cases it would be nice to take advantage of this built
in functionality. To do this, enclose the decimal versions of the printer commands in double back slashes
(\\). The example below will initialize and set the character pitch for an Epson FX printer:
\\27 64 27 103\\
In order to use printer commands when the printer is connected to a parallel port, LPT1 or LPT2, the printer
device type must be set to "Direct to Printer Port". This bypasses the print driver and sends the data
directly to the printer.
COLUMN POSITIONING FIELD
To position text at a specific column, use the following syntax:
COL20 [AccountName]
The example above will place Account Name at print column 20 of the current line. The COLnn command
must be followed by space. When multiple COLnn commands are used in one line, they must be in
ascending order. The example below is illegal.
COL50 [Account] COL20 [AccountName]
To right justify text within a field use the RIGHTnn command. For example,
RIGHT20 [Weight In]
will right justify Weight In within a 20 character field.
To left justify text within a field use the LEFTnn command. For example,
LEFT20 [Weigh In]
will left justify Weigh In within a 20 character field (i.e. unused field is padded with spaces).
