7.2.3 Programming Text Files
Up to 20 pre-programmed text files can be stored in the DC-300. 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 1-10 can be used on item labels and text files 17-20 are specifically for use on total labels. Spec 71 allows
you to set whether text files 11-16 are going to be used on item or total labels, with the default being on item
labels. (see Section 3.1.1 on page 13 on how to change customer specifications). 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 for
instructions on how to set up Free Format labels).
Printing the Text Files
If this is the first time you are programming in a text file, you can go directly to How to Program a Text File
below. If you want 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. To see what pre-programmed label formats incorporate
text files, see the Label Format worksheets in Section 12.5.
Before printing the report, please make sure that the DC-300 printer is loaded with receipt paper rather than
labels (see Section 7.1.4 on setting up the printer).
1. Press
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.
