7.0 Print Formatting
The 480 provides multiple print formats, GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT and SPFMT, that determine the format of the
printed output when the
Print
key is pressed. If a tare has been entered or acquired, NFMT is used; otherwise,
GFMT is used.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 300 characters of information, such as company name and
address, on printed tickets. Use the indicator front panel (PFORMT menu) to customize the print formats.
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 9-6 on page 72 and Table 9-7 on page 73 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.
