About Assigning Formats
The Freshmarx application includes 21 standard formats for food freshness dating, nutrition,
and grab-and-go labeling. See Appendix A, “Standard Label Formats
” for information on each
format and a sample image. Formats are assigned when you create a category button.
Freshmarx includes six categories to group your items. Only one format is assigned to a
category.
Example categories are:
♦ Breakfast, Salad, Ingredients, etc.
♦ A - B, C – G, H – K, etc.
♦ Nutrition, Ingredient, Freshness, Grab-and-go, etc.
♦ Labels, Videos, Documents, Timers, etc. (See “About Button Modes”)
Note: If you select a format larger than the loaded labels, some information may not print.
About Freshness Labeling
The Freshmarx date coding system calculates expiration dates/times based on each item’s
entered Use By Duration. When you create a product button enter the Use By Duration,
Freshmarx calculates an expiration to print on the labels. The default mode prints the date and
time on the label.
Freshmarx includes options to customize the printed expiration information, such as:
“End of Day”
expiration mode
Use for products that expire at the end of each day or in a set number of
days. Only the date is printed, not the time.
Enter Must Use By Duration values in days. The printer ignores anything
entered in the hours and minutes fields.
For example, 0 days expires today; 1 day expires tomorrow, etc.
