In this menu you select the printer and the balance you have attached to the DL36. For a
computer you need to define the corresponding configuration data. The pin assignment of
the RS232C interfaces is described in Section 13.2.

You can attach a METTLER TOLEDO GA42 or another commercially available printer. In the
latter case, you need to define the configuration data.
