Maximum Characters per Line
Another feature that is available in the Ingredient Message Edit function is the
ability to set the maximum number of characters allowed for each line in the
Ingredient Message. This feature can be used to ensure that Ingredient
Messages contain the correct number of characters that can be printed on a
certain label width. For example, if the label width that is being used in a
ability to set the maximum number of characters allowed for each line in the
Ingredient Message. This feature can be used to ensure that Ingredient
Messages contain the correct number of characters that can be printed on a
certain label width. For example, if the label width that is being used in a
particular department is always the same then the maximum number of characters capable of
being printed on that size label can be set in the Ingredient Message maintenance screen. This
can help prevent missing or truncated information. The SL9000 and the SL5300 have the
capability of using 48mm or 57mm label widths. The 48mm label has a maximum printable
character width of 45 and the 57mm label has a maximum printable character width of 54.
The SL5300 can also use an 80mm label. By using the 36 character per line setting, the 80mm
label is capable of having both the Ingredient Message and Nutrition Information printed side by
side on the same label.

Note: This setting remains after closing the Ingredient Maintenance screen. If an
Ingredient is selected for editing that has more characters per line than the character per
line setting those lines will be truncated. To make use of this function you should set the
characters per line to the desired setting, exit the Ingredient Maintenance screen and then
re-enter the Ingredient Maintenance screen. After editing the shortened character per line
Ingredient Messages you should reset the character per line setting to the maximum
characters per line needed for other Ingredient Messages in the database. This will
prevent inadvertent truncating of Ingredient Messages.

Insert Function
The need may arise to insert words, characters or spaces into an
ingredient line once they have been created. This need may occur
even if the ingredient line already contains the maximum number of
ingredient line once they have been created. This need may occur
even if the ingredient line already contains the maximum number of
characters allowed. To accomplish the inserting of words, characters or spaces into lines of an
existing Ingredient message click the +54 box. (This could also be +45 or +36 depending on the
current character per line setting) After checking this box the Insert button will be enabled and
all Ingredient lines will accept any number of characters that are entered. When editing is
complete simply click on the Insert button. Any Ingredient line that contains more than the
maximum allowable characters will have those characters wrapped onto the next line. Any
subsequent lines that receive “overflow” characters will automatically be adjusted until line 38 is
reached. Any “overflow” from line 38 will simply be discarded.
You may perform this Insert function one line at a time or you may edit multiple lines and then
press the Insert button. If the end of the line of “overflow” contains a dash, the dash will be
removed. If the end of the “overflow” does not contain a space a dash is added. Confirm that all
Ingredient lines are correct and click the Save button. If any Ingredient lines are not acceptable
simply exit and all changes will be removed.
The Insert function may also be used in conjunction with the maximum characters per line
function to convert larger number of characters per line to smaller ones. For example, a 54
characters per line Ingredient Message can be converted to a 36 characters per line message
by selecting the 36 characters per line and then clicking on the +36 checkbox. Now click on the
Insert button. The Ingredient Message will be converted to 36 characters per line. (Remember
to set the characters per line setting back to the largest size required by your database.)
