6.0 Print Formatting
The 820i provides print formats that determine the format of the printed output when the
PRINT
key is pressed, a KPRINT serial
command is received, or when setpoint push-print or truck weigh-in or weigh-out operations are performed. Supported print
formats are: GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT, SPFMT, TRWIN, TRWOUT, ALERT, AUXFMT1—AUXFMT20, and AUDITFMT.
Additionally, two header formats, HDRFMT1 and HDRFMT2, can be inserted into any of the other ticket formats using the <H1>
and <H2>formatting commands. The particular ticket format used for a given print operation depends on the indicator
configuration (see Table 6-2) and the particular operation performed.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 1000 characters of information, such as company name and address, on
printed tickets. You can use the Revolution ® configuration utility, serial commands, or the indicator front panel (PFORMT menu)
to customize the print formats.
6.1 Print Formatting Commands
Table 6-1 lists commands you can use to format the 820i print formats. Commands 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.
