Printer Features
The Slide Gate/Auger blending system may be equipped with a printer, so a printer menu is
available to the operator. This menu is displayed in the “Report Setup” area of the Setup
screen. The printer menu is accessed by pressing “Report Setup” from the Setup menu.
The printer is used to obtain batch ticket and inventory information. A batch ticket contains
the time and date, the actual blend percentages and the accumulated inventory numbers for all
networked blenders (1 to 999).
The blender can be configured to automatically print and clear inventory on a selected
interval. To automatically print or clear reports perform the following:
1. Enter in the Report Interval in hours (1-24).
2. Enter in the Report Start Hour (0-23, 0 is midnight).
3. Enable “Auto Print Inventory” and “Auto Clear Inventory.”
The user can select to only print the inventory on an interval if so desired by not enabling the
“Auto Clear Inventory” feature. The user should also enter in the blender number which will
identify the blender that the printout came from.
The printed inventory might not match the percentage shown, as the percentage shown is the
actual blender percentage running the current recipe. The inventory, depending on when it
was manually cleared, may or may not reflect the current recipe inventory. Some customers
like to run an accumulated inventory on ingredients coming from silos, etc., even though
several different recipes have been run on the blender. Others like to clear the inventory every
time the recipe is changed. The blender gives the operator the choice of either method.
The Report Setup Printer Menu contains four (4) options:
• Batch Interval
• Print Inventory
