6.5 Custom Print Formats

In addition to the standard print formats, there are two custom print formats,
activated by function 41 for gross mode and function 42 for net mode.

6.5.1

Creating a Custom Print Format

A custom print format is created on a PC, as an ASCII file that may be no larger than
511 bytes. The ASCII file can have two types of text:

Fields – text with the format

[!xx]

, where xx is the field code. When a ticket is

printed, each field added to the print format is added with data from the current
weight measurement. The table below lists all the field codes.

Fixed text – any ASCII characters that do not specify a field. These characters
are printed regardless of the data in the current weight measurement.

When you follow the procedure for downloading a custom print format (see section

6.5.2 below), the indicator uploads the default print format to the PC, as an ASCII
file. You can edit this file to create the custom print format.
