PC-2200 3.2 THE RS232 INTERFACE The RS 232 Interface allows to send the data to a printer, as well to a PC, also allows to modify the stored parameters in the column with the help of the communicator software. How to connect a PC-2200 to a serial printer. The most important to connect a column to a printer or a computer is the adjustment of parameters. The first values to be known are the serial printer parameters. e.g. : 4800 bauds, 7 bits, parity even. adjustment How to setup the column ? Prog (2 sec.

AIR IN It is necessary to adjust the A/E CONVERTER in order to use this Column optimally. 1) Pressure Adjustment(STANDARD : 2 ± 0.1bar) - Connect PRESSURE GAUGE to “C”. Connect AIR(Min. 3 bar) to “D”. Adjust pressure by turning “B” with screw driver. ♦ Default pressure is 2 bar(Factory setting). 2) Balance adjustment - Connect the A/E converter and the Column with cable(PC-2332). Connect the air gauge to “C”.
