16.  Printing 
16.1.  Overview 
The instrument can have up to two (2) printouts.  There are two (2) types of printout: 
  DOCKET: Docket printouts are comprised typically of the output of a number 
of print events.  There is a start section that includes header information, 
followed by a number of transactions and finally the end of the docket 
including sub-total information etc. 
  REPORT: Reports are used to print stored accumulation data for each 
product.     
There are two different standard formats (Format A and B) for each printout type 
defined in the instrument.  The format of these printouts is shown in the following 
sections.  
For custom printing each print event has an associated token string which includes 
literal ASCII text along with special token characters that are expanded at the time 
of printing to fields like weight, time and date. 
16.2.  Print ID 
A unique Consecutive Print ID appears on record printouts.  It cannot be cleared 
and increments for every traceable weight reading.  Additionally a Settable 
Consecutive Print ID is available through custom printing.  It can be viewed and 
edited through the operator interface User ID key (long press key 5). 
16.3.  Docket printouts 
16.3.1.  Docket Formats 
Each standard format (A or B) will vary automatically depending on the operational 
scenario  –  for  example  where  a  truck  is  being  weighed  (normal mode)  there  is a 
single line for the weight, the case where there is preset tare being used the docket 
format will automatically adjust for this and use Gross, Tare, Net.
