4. Select function 41 or 42 (depending on which memory slot you want to use for the
custom print format). Use
P.TARE
( ) to edit the current digit and
TARE
( ) to
move to the next digit. When done, press
PRINT
( ).
If you choose the first memory slot (by selecting function 41), and that slot
already contains a custom print format to the slot, the indicator downloads a
new print format and overwrites the old one. Similarly, if you choose the
second memory slot (by selecting function 42), and it is already occupied, the
old print format will be overwritten.
5. If the PIN code is active, the display shows
ACCESS
. Enter the PIN and press
PRINT
( ).
6. The display shows
For 1
(if you selected function 41) or
For 2
(if you selected
function 42). An ASCII file for the default print format is uploaded to the PC.
7. On the PC, you can open the ASCII file and edit it to create the custom print
format. If you have already prepared an ASCII file for the custom print format,
discard the uploaded file.
8. Use the serial communication program on the PC to transmit it to the indicator.
9. When the transmission ends, press
ESC
( ) on the indicator.
10. The display shows
PRN 1
briefly, and the received ASCII block is transmitted to the
PC for verification. The received ticket is stored in non-volatile memory.
11. On the PC, check the ASCII block sent by the indicator, to ensure communication
was successful. If not, go back to step 4.
12. If you want to download an additional custom print format (to the other memory
slot) go back to step 1. Next time around, select function 42 (if you selected 41
this time), or function 41 (if you selected 42 this time).
