2. Configure Template Sub-
Block
This sub-block lets you define up to five flexible templates. Templates are preconfigured
output strings that are transmitted when a print operation is requested. Appendix 1 lists
the default templates. You can use the five stored default templates as given, edit them,
or clear them and create custom templates.
Templates are composed of any printed character, special character, or field. Each
template can store up to 400 format characters. When configuring a template, you
should occasionally test print since the terminal cannot determine if it has run out of
space until it “compiles” all the data in the template and tries to print it. If you do overfill
the allocated space, a TEMPLATE OVERFLOW error will be displayed. Any data
exceeding the 400-character limit will be lost.
The elements are recorded then sent sequentially when the template is used when a
demand print request is received.
The configuration steps that follow pertain to the currently selected scale.
1. Press ENTER at the Config Template? prompt to open the sub-block.
2. At the Temp? prompt, press SELECT to choose the number and name of the
template you wish to edit or create. If an existing template has a customized name
assigned to it, the name appears to the right of the prompt: Temp? 1 Mettler.
3. Select the action you want to take with the selected template. Actions include:
• Clear Template
• Copy Template
• Edit/Create Template
4. You must respond Y(es) or N(o) to each prompt.
Clear Template
1. Select Y(es) or N(o) at the Clear Template? prompt.
2. If Y(es), you must confirm your decision at the Are You Sure? prompt.
Copy Template
1. Select Y(es) or N(o) to copy another template into the current template.
2. If Y(es), select the new template ID number. Confirm your decision at the Are You
Sure? prompt. The current template will be cleared before the new one is copied.
Edit/Create Template
1. Select Y(es) or N(o) if you wish to edit the current template.
2. If Y(es), you can edit the template name and/or edit, insert, or delete template
components. The display reads Name? with the current name of the template given
to the right of the prompt.
3. Change the template name by entering a new name (maximum 8 characters), or
keep the current name by pressing ENTER.
4. The JAGXTREME terminal displays E001 in the top display indicating that the first
element of the template is displayed in the lower display area. If End of Template
appears on the lower display, the template is empty.
5. Press SELECT to display the next element in the template. Press ZERO to display the
previous element in the template. You can access any element in the template
using the SELECT and ZERO keys.
