IntroductionThe term password and security code are used interchangeably in this program. Twooptional passwords may be used to protect access to items shown in theOPERATION MENU:

1. The Configuration Menu password protects the Configuration Menu, Modem Service, and Time and Date.

2. The Service Menu password protects the Service Menu.The two passwords operate independently, but the same password may be used for both. A key symbol will appear beside each of the Operation Menu items that is password protected.

The following Operation Menu items can not be password protected:Auto TareKeyboard TareAudit TrailTicket Number

Use of Password/Security CodeIn the Operation Menu, if a key symbol is displayed beside an item, the correct

password must be entered to gain access to the item. Remember, two passwordsmay be necessary to access all of the displayed items, one password for theConfiguration Menu, Modem Service Menu, and Time and Date, and anotherpassword for the Service Menu. To access an item that is password protected.

1. Place the cursor beside the appropriate item to be accessed and press the ENTER key.

2. The display will show ENTER SECURITY CODE. Enter the correct password and press the ENTER key.

IntroductionSeveral features are available in the Intalogix Technology. This section explainsthese features in detail.

A. REPORT FIELD PRIORITYWhen a transaction record is created, there are 24 data fields created within therecord. These data fields are used when reports are printed. The operator canselect which data fields will appear in the report and the order in which they will beprinted. This is done by assigning PRIORITIES to the fields. The priority is thenumber of the column in which the data will appear in the report.

The data fields created are:1. IN TIME2. TIME OUT3. DATE4. INBOUND WEIGHT5. OUTBOUND WEIGHT6. NET WEIGHT7. AUX TARE WEIGHT8. AUX NET WEIGHT9. PRODUCT ID10. CONVERSION 111. CONVERSION 212. LOOP ID13.

Section 5: Features

To format the report and assign field priorities:

1. From the CONFIGURATION MENU, select REPORTS.

2. From the REPORT MENU, select REPORT GENERATOR 1.

The display will show:

The "1" is the column number that has been assigned to the data in the IN TIME field.The page width will vary from 0 to 131, depending on the number of fields thathave been selected to be printed in the report. This number can not be changed manually, but will change automatically as the number of prioritized field changes. The CPI (characters per inch) number will also change automatically as the number of prioritized fields is changed.

3. At the cursor, enter the number of the column where this item is to appear in the report. If a "1" is entered, this will be printed in the first column of the report. If a "0" is entered as the column number, the data in this field WILLNOT BE PRINTED in the report.

4. Press the ENTER key and the choice will be assigned to the field and the display will advance to the next field. Repeat this process for each of the fieldthat can be placed in the report.

B. Conditions1. If a field has a priority of "0", it will not be printed in the report.2. If two fields are assigned the same priority, the one that occurs first in the field list will be printed first in the report.3. If fields 3 through 11 are assigned a priority other than "0", the operator will be asked if the filed is to be used as a SEARCH FIELD. The SEARCH FIELDfeature is explained in the following section.

50190 36 11/03 Issue #7

REPORT PRIORITY

1>

PAGE WIDTH = 122 17 CPI

C. SEARCH FIELD FEATUREThe transactions records stored in memory can be sorted and then printed in reportsby using the "search field" feature. When a search field is entered the reportgenerator will search the transaction records for an exact match of the field specified.ONLY these transactions will be printed.

1. FeaturesSeveral keys have unique functions when used in the search field feature.

"+" or "-" keys:Some field will only accept numeric values, such as "ticket number'. If the

"+" sign is entered before the numeric value when selecting ticket number as the search field, all records equal to, or greater than the value will be printed. If the "-" is entered before the numeric value, all records with values less than or equal to the value will be printed in the report.

"Wild Card" Feature:Some fields will accept alpha-numeric values, both letters and numbers. An "*" placed at the search field prompt will organize all of the records of that field into groups. For example, Loop ID is an alpha-numeric field. If an "*" is entered in the search field for Loop ID, all of the records will be sorted and then printed with all of the same Loop ID's together. The "wild card" feature only works with Product ID, Mail ID and Loop ID fields.

Date Format Feature:The date format must be in the form "mm dd yy " or "mm-dd-yy". The first digit of the month or day can be a "0" or a space. In all cases, each entry must be two digits separated by a space or a dash.

2. USING THE SEARCH FIELD FEATURETo use the search field feature:

a. Select the "Report Generator 1" option at the REPORT menu.

The display will show:

50190 37 11/03 Issue #7

REPORT PRIORITY

PAGE WIDTH = 122 17 CPI

b. Advance the display to the DATE field. This is the first field that can be used as a search field. All of the remaining fields can be used as search fields.

NOTE: If the report priority is "0", it CAN NOT be used as a search field.If the priority is other than "0", it can be used as the search field.

c. With a report priority other than "0" selected, press the ENTER key.

The display will show:

This display is asking the operator if this field is to be used as the search field.

d. If "DATE" is to be used as the search field, enter the date to be used, in the format mm dd yy. The "+/-" feature mentioned under FEATURES can be used with the value entered. Press the ENTER key.If "DATE" is NOT going to be used as the search field, press the ENTER key to move to the next field.

e. This process is repeated for each of the fields that are assigned a report priority other than "0".

3. Conditions

a. If two or more fields are assigned the same priority, the records are sorted by the first field and then by the second. Only those records that fit all of the search fields selected will be printed in the report.

b. Different search fields can be assigned for REPORT GENERATOR 1and REPORT GENERATOR 2. Otherwise, the two report generators work the same way.

PAGE WIDTH = 122 17 CPI

c. At the end of each report generated from a search field, the "totals" for all of the listed transactions will be printed. For example, if the search field selected is "OUTBOUND WEIGHT" , the total outbound weight for all entered transaction will be printed at the end of the report.

d. IN TIME and TIME OUT can not be used as search fields.

e. When a new search filed is selected, all existing search fields shouldbe deleted. Deleting search fields is done by placing the cursor beside the search field and repeatedly pressing the right arrow on the key pad or pressing the "delete" key on the keyboard.

This message indicates that something has happened to the scale and the weightbeing seen by the indicator is outside the allowed zero reference. If it appears, callyour local Service Center.

B. High water in scale X:X = Scale numberThis message indicates water is in scale X pit. The pit needs to be cleaned out.

C. Please wait, communicating with computerThis message will appear on the main weigh screen if the indicator is being accessed via a remote computer to upload a transaction file or a configurationfile, etc. This does not indicate any sort of error. This message will remain until the upload of data is complete. The indicator will then return to the normal weighing mode.

DEMANDSelects Demand Output mode. The Demand output is transmitted when the 2500Series instrument receives the proper Poll Character in ASCII format from receivingcomputer. The default Poll Character is a Carriage Return (Decimal 13).

Selecting Computer Demand will enable the indicator to receive either a remote Print command or a remote Zero command from the computer. If the indicator receives a P from the computer it will initiate a print cycle. Likewise a Z will perform a Zero function.

AUTOSelects Auto computer output mode. The Auto output is transmitted when anInbound, Outbound or GTN ticket is printed.

CHECKSUMThis selection toggles on and off by pressing ENTER when selected. It will determinewhether a Checksum character is sent at the end of the computer output.

POLL CHARACTERThe Poll Character is the character that will, when received, cause the 2500 seriesindicator to transmit the output string when in the demand mode. If changed from aCr (carriage return) use the decimal equivalent of the ASCII character required.
