Ticket Formatting and Printing
15.4.2 Printing
Batch tickets can be printed in several ways:
• Automatically, when the batch ends or when a discrete event occurs
• Manually, using the display or a discrete input
Note: Information in this section applies only to batch tickets that are not used as custody transfer
tickets. For information on printing batch tickets used as custody transfer tickets, see Section 15.5.2
for batch (NTEP) tickets, or Section 15.6.2 for batch (OIML) tickets.
Auto print
To print batch tickets automatically when the batch target is reached, configure the Auto Print and
Number of Tickets parameters as required (see Table 15-4).
Display
To print batch tickets from the display, use the
PRINT button. The PRINT button appears only when
the batch is ended; it does not appear when the batch is stopped.
Discrete input or discrete event
You can configure the Series 3000 device so that a batch ticket is printed whenever a discrete input is
activated or a discrete event occurs. This ticket can include one or several screens in addition to the
batch screen; all assigned screens will be printed. To do this:
1. From the Digital Communication menu (see Figure 15-1), select
Configure RS-485, then
select
Discrete Inputs.
2. Using the
Print Screen option, select the discrete input or discrete event to which you will
assign screens.
3. Using the
Screens to Print option, specify the screens that will be printed when the specified
discrete input is activated or the discrete event occurs. You may specify as many screens as
desired.
