Printing the Weight

When you use this method, you can print your document with a single click. You can view the weight before you print, but you cannot accept each weight before you print. This means that if the scale display control displays an unsatisfactory result, you must remove the item from the scale and re-weigh it to get a new reading.

To print your document by using the data entry form, follow these steps:

1. Complete any manual data entry that is required on the form.

2. Place the item to be weighed on the scale.

3. When you are satisfied with the reading on the scale display, click the Print button on the data entry form. BarTender automatically captures the weight, and your document is printed.

Use a manual Capture/Redo button when you want to accept and capture the stable weight before you print your document and when you want to be able to redo a capture if you are not satisfied with the initial result.

To print your document by using the Capture/Redo button, follow these steps:

1. Complete any manual data entry that is required on the form.

2. Place the item to be weighed on the scale.

3. When you are satisfied with the reading on the scale display, click the Capture button. The weight is copied to the linked data source, and the Capture button changes into a Redo button. (To recapture the weight, click the Redo button. BarTender recalculates the weight, and the Redo button changes back into a Capture button.)

4. When you are satisfied with the captured weight, click the Print button on the scale data entry form. The print job is sent to the printer.

1. Double-click the scale display control to open the Scale Display Properties dialog. Alternatively, right-click the control, and then click Properties.

2. In the left navigation pane, click Scale to open the Scale property page.

3. In the Scale Control Properties area, click to select the Capture stable weight automatically check box, and then click to select the Print after capture check box.

4. Click Close to close the Scale Display Properties dialog.

1. Complete any manual data entry that is required on the form.

2. Place the item to be weighed on the scale. After BarTender detects a stable weight, it automatically captures the weight, the data entry form closes, and the print job is sent to the printer.

Configure the Capture/Redo button, as described previously. The weight is automatically printed as soon as you click the Capture button.
