7.1.4 Epson Printers
The DC-100 includes a pre-programmed format that works with Epson printers and printers that emulate the
Epson.
Figure 7-3. Epson Printer Label Format
1. Make sure that the following DC-100 spec codes are properly set for printing to the Epson printer as an
external printer.
• Set SPEC 62 - RS232 - XON/XOFF to 1:Enable. This turns on the handshaking between the scale and
printer that allows the label format in the DC-100 to be downloaded to the Epson printer at the time you
print.
• Set SPEC 15- SIO Select Job to 3:Printer. Then check to make sure that SPEC 16 - RS232C Baud Rate,
SPEC 17 - RS232C Data Length, SPEC 18 - RS232C Parity Bit, and SPEC 19 - RS232C Stop Bit are set
to their default values of 9600 baud, 8 bit data length, parity - none, and 1 stop bit.
• Set SPEC 31 - PC/PRN Output Data Method to the conditions on which you want data to be sent to the
printer.
• Set SPEC 32 - Select External Printer Type to 3:Epson.
• Set SPEC 33 - Download Label Format to 1:Disable.
• Set SPEC 34 - Print When Press +/- key to 0:Disable or 1:Enable depending on how you want that feature
to work.
2. After making sure that the power is off on both the Epson printer and the DC-100 scale, connect the
cable from the scale to the printer.
3. Turn the scale and printer on again.
4. With the DC-100 in wieghing mode, perform a weighing or counting operation and press the REPRINT
button on the scale to test print a label.
7.2 Connecting a Barcode Scanner
The DC-100 will accept a barcode scanner connected either to a RS232C port (RS232 scanner) or to the IBM
keyboard port (wedge scanner that emulates a keyboard). In order to use a scanner, you must set the Customer
Specifications of the DC-100 scale to recognize the scanner, connect the scanner to the appropriate port and, in
some cases, do the setup on the scanner required by the scanner manufacturer.
