Rice Lake 520 HMI Digital Weight Indicator Installation Manual - Manual (Page 68)

Print Formatting 62
The <G2>, <N2>, and <T2> commands listed in Table 10-1 print the gross, net, and tare weights in
non-displayed units—that is, in the units not currently displayed on the indicator.
10.2 Default Ticket Formats
Table 10-2 shows the default print formats for the 520 and lists the conditions under which each print format is
used. The HDRFMT format is used to specify header information that can be used by the other ticket formats. The
contents of the HDRFMT format can be inserted into any other ticket format using the <AE> formatting command.

information.

page 77).
Note
In OIML and CANADA modes, the letters PT (preset tare) are automatically inserted after the printed tare
weight.
For most applications, when using a printer attached to the EDP port, set PRNDEST (on the SERIAL menu)
to EDP. If PRNDEST=BOTH, only the EDP format is sent to the printer.
10.3 Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for customizing print formats using the EDP port, the front panel
(PFORMT menu), and the Revolution® configuration utility. See Section 12.7 on page 77 for information about
custom stream formatting.
<SPnn> Space (nn = number of spaces)*
 
<SU> Toggle weight data format (formatted/unformatted)**
 
NOTES:
Gross, net, tare and setpoint values are 9 digits in length, including sign (10 digits with decimal point), followed by a space and
a two-digit units identifier. Total field length with units identifier is 12 (or 13) characters.
ID and consecutive number (CN) fields are 1–7 characters in length, as required.
ID numbers included in the print format string (<ID> command) must be set using the UID EDP command or via keypad in
setup mode.
Ticket header (AE) inserts information specified for the HDRFMT header format.
* If nn is not specified, 1 is assumed. Value must be in the range 1–99.
** After receiving an SU command, the indicator sends unformatted data until the next SU command is received. Unformatted
data omits decimal points, leading and trailing characters.
