REP.ST   Report Start - defines the start of the report.

REP.END  Report End - defines the end of the report. 
 
** Note: REP.PR is for per Truck ID printing in the report and is not an event triggered by 
changing the Truck ID. If there is anything in the REP.PR then it will be printed for all Truck 
IDs that have a total when the report is printed. 
16.5.  Custom Printing 
 
A print docket is built up from multiple print passes.  Each of the print passes is defined by 
a specific configuration string.  Print passes are triggered by operator events – these 
include short and long press of the Print key and actions like changing products. 
 
The  content  of  the  configuration  string  for  each  event  includes  direct  text  (the  word 
“Weight” to be placed near the current weight for example) and control characters called 
‘Tokens’. Tokens are used to specify where the instrument data fields are to be inserted.   
 
Tokens  are  characters  outside  the  normal  printable  range.    Each  token  character  is 
represented by a three character escape sequence consisting of a ‘\’ followed by two hex 
characters  or  by  a  three  digit  decimal  ASCII  number.    When  entering  tokens  via  the 
instrument keys the decimal ASCII code is used.  When entering tokens using the viewer 
software the escape sequence is used.  
 
Examples of tokens: 
\D7 (ASCII 215) = current displayed weight 
\BF (ASCII 191) = date 
\C0 (ASCII 192) = time
