1. SETUP MENU #2, SERIAL, PORT, SCALE=1, 2, 3, 4 (TOTAL), CONT=YES outputs
continuous weight of the designated scale out the designated port.
2. SETUP MENU #2, SERIAL, PORT, SCALE=1, 2, 3, 4 (TOTAL), CONT=NO outputs
weight-on-demand of the designated scale out the designated port.
3. SETUP MENU #2, SERIAL, PORT, SCALE=0, CONT=YES outputs continuous weight
of the selected (active) scale out the designated port for multi-scale operation.
Print Key Serial Port Selection
NOTE! The serial port used for the PRINT key is selected in the 24+066#$5 menu,
PORT= 0 [PRINTER (TxDPRINT)]
PORT= 1 (COM1)
PORT= 2 (COM2)
PORT= 3 (COM3)
NOTE! Multi-scale printing prints the selected (active) scale out the selected port.
