Settings of <Prefix> and <Suffix> parameters are valid for all printouts sent via the weighing
device, e.g.: calibration reports, statistics etc., and header, footer and GLP printouts.
Caution:
It must be remembered that inserting paper crop command to <SUFFIX> parameter (control
code) results in sending the code after each printout. If you wish for one whole printout to
consist of: HEADER, GLP PRINTOUT and FOOTER and to be cropped underneath the
FOOTER, then the paper crop command should be inserted only for FOOTER settings as a
non-standard printout with <{150}> variable (paper crop for EPSON printer). In such case
<SUFFIX> command should stay empty.
To ensure correct cooperation of the balance with the printer (correct printout of diacritical
signs of a given language), respective baud rate, obligatory for a given printer, must be
chosen (see the printer settings). Additionally code page of a sent printout must be
accordant with a code page of a printer.
There are two methods for obtaining code page accordance:
•
by setting the right code page in printer settings (read printer's user manual) – it must
be accordant with the printout code page of a balance:
Code page Language
1250 POLISH, CZECH, HUNGARIAN
1251 RUSSIAN
1252 ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, SPANISH, ITALIAN
1254 TURKISH
1256 ARABIC
•
by sending the control code from the weighing device, which, prior the printout,
automatically sets the right code page of the printer, i.e. code page accordant with the
one of a weighing device (Read user manual of the printer you operate to check if it
supports this option).
CAUTION: CODES MUST BE ENTERED IN A HEXADECIMAL FORM!
