1 RS 232 (standard)
You can print weighing data automatically via the RS 232C interface or manually by
pressing via the interface according to the setting in the menu.
This data exchange is asynchronous using ASCII - Code.
The following conditions must be met to provide successful communication between the
weighing system and the printer.
• Use a suitable cable to connect the display unit to the interface of the printer.
Faultless operation requires an adequate KERN interface cable.
• Communication parameters (baud rate, bits and parity) of display unit and printer
must match. For a detailed description of interface parameters, please refer to
chapter 8, Menu block “P2 COM“
