12-7. Using UFC (Universal Flex Coms) Function
‰ The UFC function allows you to print out as you format the printer (UFC format).
‰ The scale can store the UFC format as text data. It will include parameters to
replace with the count data, weight data and so on.
‰ The maximum number of text data is 384 characters.
‰ Using “PF” command, the text data has to be sent to the scale in advance.
When the PRINT key is pressed or by auto-print mode A/B, the scale will send
the stored text data with the parameters replaced by the original data.
‰ Terminator for the “PF” command is "C

L
F
".
‰ The UFC format data can be sent through one RS-232C interface only.
Set one of f-06/07/08-01 at "6", "7" or "8" to send the data. The others must be set
at "0" ~"5" ("4" will be recommended if the other format data is not necessary to
send).
