Rice Lake Legend 480-2A, Technical Manual

Page: 65 / 85

58 480 Legend Series
The default 480 print formats are shown in Table 7-2:
The <G2>, <N2> and <T2> tokens (Table 7-1) print the gross, net and tare weights 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.
PT (preset tare) is added to the tare weight if tare was keyed in.
7.2 Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT and SPFMT formats
using the front panel (PFORMT menu). See Figure 3-6 for print format menu structure.
7.2.1 Using the Front Panel
Use the PFORMT menu to customize the print formats.
Using the PFORMT menu (see Figure 3-6), edit the print format strings by changing the decimal values of the
ASCII characters in the format string.
Some characters cannot be displayed on the
480
front panel (see the ASCII character charts on page 72 and
page 73) and are shown as blanks. The
480
can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed
depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.
