Fct. 46:Print Form - Schenck process Disomat Opus Operating Manual

Setting Mode

5.2.1 Fct. 46:PRINT FORM

Many weighing tasks require data, loaded, stored or acquired, to be printed.
DISOMAT is capable of controlling a printer directly.
What can be printed?
You can print formatted weigh data as well as a list of set parameters.
For weigh data, the following functions are available:
•
A remote or local printer can be operated.
•
In case of remote printer, system checks to see if data transfer and printout
have been successful. If not, system outputs an event message.
•
The EDP message to be transferred after printout can be formatted.
•
Six form formats are available, e.g. 'Single Printout', 'Sub-Total' and 'Total'.
These form formats can be addressed both via menu tree and function blocks
(Print1, Print2, Print3, Print4, Print5, Print6).
•
If weigh data are output in list form, a header printout can be started for every
new page.
•
The form format can be designed at will (division of page, information to be
printed).
•
Single printouts can be started both using the function block linkage and in
menu tree.
•
Input of a string varying from printout to printout (e.g. item number, vehicle
number) is possible using function blocks and in the dialog mode.
•
After printer fault, the print job started last can be repeated with same text,
weight and consecutive number. Print command is repeated as many times as
required until next printout.
For listing set parameters, the following functions are available:
•
Printout of all setting data (configuration, calibration)
•
Printout of function block linkages complete with parameter values.
Handling print functions
For the stated options, DISOMAT readies a convenient printer control accessed from
four menu tree items:
•
Menu item '2:Enter String'; See item 4.2.2.
•
Menu '3:PRINT'
Starts the functions for start and repeat of printing in daily operation. Six form
formats are available ('31:Print 1', '32:Print 2', '33:Print 3, ''36:Print 4', '37:Print
5', '38:Print 6' ) that can be accessed at any time by function key operation or
via menu tree.
See Item 4.2.3.
•
Menu item '56:Print Parameters'
See Item 4.2.4.6
•
Menu '46:PRINT FORM'
See below.
You need not use the default form formats. To match the construction of printouts via
the '3:PRINT' menu, the variable form format function is available which you can use
to match formats to your requirements. You can reload default formats at any time
(default forms, default texts). However, your changes get lost.
The following items describe all functions the system readies for changing.
