custom transmits, each with a different name, address and phone
number to be printed on the shipping label. The operator can then
print the appropriate label by pressing [PRINT] to display the "Which
Tx# ?" prompt and then key in the desired transmit number and press
[ENTER] to print the label.
Note that only one 'prompt' transmit can be sent at a time. After a
'prompt' transmit is sent, any transmits set for 'on request' will also be
sent.
2. Custom transmits can be sent automatically on a continual basis by
setting P989 to 'continuous'. The time between each continuous
transmit is defined at P980 (transmit rate). Continuous transmits are
used to send data to devices such as scoreboards, remote displays
and computers.
3. A macro command can initiate a custom transmit. This is possible
even if P991 is set to 'off'. This allows custom transmits to be event
driven such as having weight tickets printed automatically each time a
new weight is applied.

name is only used for documentation purposes.
5. Select P991 and select whether the transmit will be 'off', 'on request'
or 'prompt'.
6. Select P992 and select which communication port the transmit should
use.
7. Select P993 – P994 and select whether the transmit should 'ignore'
the motion of each scale or be 'inhibited' by it.
8. If a custom transmit is to be 'continuous', enable P998.
9. Select P1000 to access the custom transmit table.

The custom transmit table begins at P1000 in the setup mode. It contains
the information to be transmitted. When a custom transmit is first defined,
the transmit table is empty. Text, parameters and control codes must be
entered in the proper sequence to achieve the desired output. For
example, suppose we wish to print the following ticket:
