Printing
There are several actions that generate
the command for outputting data to
the printer port:
– Pressing the p key. If you are working
with the operating menu, the menu
settings are printed (see chapter entitled
“Settings”).
– Sending the SBI command “Esc k P _”.
Please see the section entitled
“Data Input Format” in this chapter
for details.
– In some applications, pressing a given
key (e.g., to store a value or start a rou-
tine) also generates a print command.
In this case, a configurable printout is
generated with the application-specific
data. For more details, refer to the
descriptions of the applications and to
the section entitled “Configuring Print-
outs”, which contains sample printouts.
The P and b symbols are displayed
when data is being output to the
printer port.
Line format:
One printed line consists of a maximum
of 20 characters. The first 6 characters,
called the ‘header', identify the
subsequent value.
Configuring Printouts
To configure a printout, access the
numeric menu (level 6; see chart on the
left). See the chapter entitled “Settings”
for details on accessing the numeric
menu.
You can configure a different printout
for each port. Each printout is made
up of various blocks of information,
selected by activating or de-activating
them in the menu:
– Headers: header 1, header 2
– Date, time (not for Combics 1)
– Dotted line and blank line (for the
Weighing application).
You cannot de-activate this block. It is
printed to separate the first block from
the ones that follow.
– Initialization data (e.g., reference
sample quantity, reference piece weight)
followed by a blank line.
This block is not included on the
printout of results from the Totalizing
and Net-Total Formulation applications
(menu items 7.9.x and 7.10.x).
– Serial number of the load cell
– Results: Gross, tare, net values; blank
line and application-specific result (e.g.,
piece count), followed by a dotted line.
