7.2 Default Print Formats
Table 7-2 shows the default print formats for the 880 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 print formats. The contents
of the
HDRFMT
format can be inserted into any other print format using the <H1> formatting command.

Note
1. Gross, net, and tare weights are 8 digits in length, including sign and decimal point, followed by a space and a one-
to five-digit units identifier. Total field length with units identifier is 10-14 characters. Depending on what units are
configured, the units identifier will be lb, kg, oz, tn, t, or g.
2. Gross, net, tare, and accumulator weights can be printed in any configured weight units by adding the following
modifiers to the gross, net, tare, and accumulator weight commands: /P (primary units), /D (displayed units), /S
(secondary units), /T (tertiary units). If not specified, the current displayed units (/D) is assumed. Example: To format
a ticket to show net weight in secondary units, use the following command: <N/S>.
3. Unit ID and consecutive number (CN) fields are 1–6 characters in length, as required.
4. If nn is not specified, 1 is assumed. Value must be in the range 1–99.
5. 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.
