INTERFACING WITH A COMPUTER
Your balance has a male DB9 RS-232 serial port and is designed to interface
with computer equipment. If your balance is connected to a computer,
follow the instructions in Appendix II.
PRINTING OUT INFORMATION
Your balance is designed to print out the displayed weight when connected
to an optional serial printer. To print using the CoStar SETRA 250 thermal
receipt/label printer, follow the instructions below:
1. Connect the printer’s AC adaptor to the proper electrical outlet.
2. Make sure the printer is turned on (as indicated by the printer’s green
light). If the printer is not on, press the blue power button on the front
of the printer.
3. Load the appropriate paper or label stock into the printer. (See printer
instructions for details).
4. Connect the printer to the balance’s RS-232 connector using the cable
provided.
5. Perform the necessary weighing procedures on the balance.
6. Press the MODE key on the balance.
NOTE: The MODE key must be set up to perform the print function. This is the
factory default. If using label stock, the form feed command must be
programmed in User Setups (see Appendix I). When using a printer
other than the CoStar SETRA 250, set the baud rate and parity of your
balance to match the printer (see Appendix I, User Setups to select
the print mode, baud rate and parity).
