  Patrick HarrisonSep 7, 2025
  If the printer prints a test ticket or doesn't use the Print Tab Settings on your Cardinal Accessories, the print tab setting or visual ticket format must be selected before weighing or printing. To select the ticket format: 1. Press the ?/UP ARROW key, then the PRINT key. 2. The display will change to “Prt=”. 3. Press TARE/ENTER to show the current value. 4. Press TARE/ENTER again to save if acceptable. 5. If incorrect, use the ?/UP ARROW key to toggle to a new setting, then press TARE/ENTER to save. Allowable values: 0 = print tab settings, 1 = visual ticket format 1, 2 = visual ticket format 2. The selected format remains active until changed.
