Report Print Formats
For example, the Ticket transaction might print the Truck ID, the time/
date, and associated weight values for the type of transaction.
For example, the Header might print the scale owner company name,
address and time/date of the report and appropriate labels to align with
the information contained in the Body of the report.
The Body would print the Truck ID and associated weights and times
(Inbound only). The Body print format performs automatic loop printing
of the data contained in the print format. The loop is controlled by the
Truck In, Truck Out and Fleet IDs print tokens and will continue to
repeat the print format for all IDs that are stored in their respective areas
of the database.
For example, the Footer might only print End of xxxxx Report or just
send a form feed character for proper paper advance upon completion.
Report Printing Structure
When a report is printed, all 3 associated print formats, Header, Body

and Footer, are automatically sent to the assigned or binded port.
Examples of the default print formats for Tickets and Reports are shown
on page 35. Proper editing of these print formats using the internal
Editor or the PC software application tool may be necessary for specific
application requirements.
See the Supervisor menu in Figure 7.1 to see the default print formats
assigned to each item and how to navigate to any item you wish to
change.
Editing of a print format requires access to a password protected menu

and will not be covered in this manual.

Import

The Import menu allows for transfer of a Truck Scale database file from a USB memory
device when inserted into the USB port of the indicator.
For a typical truck scale operation the only reasons to import a database would be to:
l Add Fleet Truck IDs and Tare weight records into the scale without having to
use the EDIT menu
l Edit existing totals to correct errors or missing weighments such as failure to
record an Outbound transaction or using an incorrect Truck ID.
To successfully Import the truck scale database into the indicator the file must be in the
proper CSV (comma separated value) format. To insure that the CSV file format is
acceptable, the following procedure is recommended. Perform an In/Out transaction,
and if the operation uses Fleet trucks, add at least one Fleet Truck ID / Tare weight in
the EDIT menu. Then EXPORT the database file to the USB thumbdrive. The database
file will show the required data fields that must be maintained.
Open the file using Excel and copy and paste a row containing the entered Truck values
into the number of rows necessary. Edit the pasted rows with the required data and be
sure to put 0s into unused columns.
