7.1.1 There are 4 kinds of data output via RS 232C
Data output using the PRINT key
The printing process can be triggered by pressing the PRINT key.
The settings AUTOPRINT and AUTOPRINT should be disabled for this process.
AUTOPRINT (data output according to weight application)
The setting AUTOPRINT is located on the PRINTER path where you can turn it on or off.
When AUTOPRINT is active, the current weighing value will be sent via the RS 232 date
interface after unloading and subsequent loading of the balance as soon as the balance is
in resting position.
Permanent PRINT (continuous data output)
The setting permanent Print is located on the PRINTER path and where you can turn it on
or off. When permanent Print is active, the current weighing values will be sent continuously
via the RS 232 data interface.
Data output and remote control commands
Remote control commands transferred as ASCII characters to the balance can be used to
trigger the following functions on the balance (always finish with CR, LF!):
t Taring
w The balance sends a weighing value (also unstable) via the serial interface.
s The balance sends a stable weighing value via the serial interface.
After receiving either character w or s, the balance will send without a printer pause be-
tween the characters.
