9.5.3 Text File Report (DC-300 only)
Up to 20 pre-programmed text files can be stored in the DC-300. See Section 7.2.3 on how to program a text file.
These are not associated with a specific item code. Instead, they allow you to print fixed data on labels such as
“scale number” or “machine number”. Text files 1-16 can be used on item labels and text files 17-20 are
specifically for use on total labels. There can be up to 2 lines programmed for each text file, with the limit
depending on the size of the print area and the character size you choose to print at for each label format. Each
text field must be defined as belonging to a certain label format (see Section 7.1.1 for Label Formats available).
Since the standard label format does not have a print area for extra text fields, a free format label with a text print
area programmed must be used (see Section 7.5 on page 91 for instructions on how to set up Free Format labels).
To check what texts are already programmed into the scale and see what text files are still available, follow the
instructions below to print a report of the text files. You can print a text file report for a single text file or for all
the texts that are programmed.
Before printing the report, please make sure that the DC-200/300 printer is loaded with receipt paper rather than
labels (see Section 7.1.4 on setting up the printer).
1. Press the
MODE key until the display shows ITEM CODE PROGRAMMING. The S annunciator, indicating the
programming mode, will illuminate.
2. Press the
+ (plus) key six times to reach the text programming mode.
3. To print the report for a single text file, enter the text number for the existing text file you want to print
and press the
TARE key. To print the report for all text files in memory, enter a 0 (zero) for the text
number and press the TARE key. To stop the printing, press the FEED key.
