Printing
9.1
Overview
Four print formats are available. They are based on a 20 or 40 column width printer and may be printed on a
20 or 40 column tally roll serial printer, or a 80 column dot matrix serial printer.
Printing may be triggered manually by a configured print key or automatically (auto-printing). Auto-printing
prints when the scale reaches no motion with a weight above the zero band.
The printout will be sent to one printer only. If a USB printer is connected, this is used. Otherwise, the lowest
serial port number which is configured as a printer is used. For example, if
SERIAL:SER.M.1A:TYPE=PRINT
and
SERIAL:SER.M.2A:TYPE=PRINT
, the printout will be sent via module 1 A port only.
The print format and manual/auto-printing are selected using
SERIAL:PRN.OPT:PRNT.TP
. The following table
shows the options:

Custom Ticket Headers
A custom header is available for ticket printouts (
SERIAL:PRN.OPT:PRNT.TP=TICKET or A.TICK
) in the

setting. Up to 6 lines of 30 characters can be entered.
Within this setting item, the display shows each of the heading characters in turn using the following format:
L.CC.XXX
where:
L: the line number (1..6)
CC: the position of the character in that line (01..30)
XXX: the ASCII code for the printed character
Use the left/right/up/down keys to edit the ASCII code for the character. Use the OK key to select the next
character. Use the cancel key to exit the editor and return to the menu. Any printable ASCII codes can be
