How to Set up Variable Field Length
With Variable Ingredient Fields, the CL7200 will now auto adjust the label length when using continuous label mode.
This guide will walk you through updating your existing labels to utilize the new feature.
1. First, make sure you have the latest update for both the firmware and CL Works Pro.
To check your scale, use MENU 1867 and ensure you have V3. 03.5-C(d) -5041 or higher.
2. To check your software version of the CL Works Pro, open the software, and select "HELP" from the top task bar.
Next, select "ABOUT," to check that you have this version or higher.
Once you have confirmed you have the latest software / firmware, you are ready to edit your labels.
3. To get started, open the Label Editor. Next, open one of your existing Custom Labels.
Select the INGREDIENT field and follow the example shown. "Scrunch" the text for this field until only one line or so of the text shows.
Save your changes and press the TRANSFER button to send the label to the scale.
4. Test your updated labels with PLU's that have various ingredient lengths.
If done correctly, they should look similiar to the examples shown when printed.
The label lengths for items with no or small ingredients will be shorter than PLU's with longer ones.
If the changes are not visible on your label, check that you adjusted the text and make sure the field items are not overlapping excessively.
If there is still no effect, check the following PARAMETER.
From the Parameter Setting menu, enter 758 and ensure it is set to Y.
*Note: Variable lengths are only for Continuous Label Mode and should auto switch on/off this parameter when changing modes.
