7.0 Print Formatting
The 482-AG provides print format to determine the information to be printed on a ticket.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 300 characters of information, such as company name and address, on
printed tickets. The indicator front panel ( PFRMAT menu) can be used to customize the print formats, see Section 3.6.4 on
page 34 .
The display will only show capital letters. Press the down arrow to view the ASCII character decimal value on the
second menu level. Refer to Table 8-3 on page 50 and Table 8-4 on page 51 to view the ASCII character charts.
7.1 Print Formatting Tokens
Table 7-1 lists tokens that can be used to configure the print formats. Tokens included in the format strings must be enclosed
between < and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on the ticket. Text characters can
include any ASCII character that can be printed by the output device. The default 482-AG print formats are shown.
The <G2> token within Table 7-1 prints the gross weight in the units not currently displayed on the indicator.
The 300 character limit of each print format string includes the output field length of the print formatting tokens, not
the token length. For example, if the indicator is configured to show a decimal point, the <G> token generates an
output field of 13 characters: the 10 character weight value (including decimal point), one space, and a two-digit units
identifier.
