(correct printout of diacritical signs of a given language) it is necessary to make
sure that the code page of a sent printout is accordant with a code page
of a printer. There are two methods for obtaining code page accordance:
• by setting the right code page in the settings of a printer (read the user
manual of the printer) – it must be accordant with the printout code page
of a weighing device:
28
Page 29
Code page Language
1250 Polish, Czech, Hungarian
1252 English, German, French, Spanish, Italian

Prefix and suffix are controlling codes (given in a hexadecimal format) sent
to a printer at print start - <Prefix> parameter, and at print end - <Suffix>
parameter. Sending these codes allows to control globally information and
actions carried out at the beginning and/or at the end of each printout sent from
a weighing device to a printer. Most frequent usage:
• Prefix - sending info on print code page.
• Suffix - sending paper crop command in EPSON printers (in case
of printer equipped with an auto-cutter blade). Paper crop in EPSON
printer – code 1D564108.
Settings of <Prefix> and <Suffix> parameters are valid for all printouts sent via

28. IMPORT / EXPORT
Import/export option facilitates the following:
• archiving of reports,
• copying databases between weighing devices of the same series,
• copying parameters between weighing devices of the same series.
Import/export operation can be carried out by means of USB flash drive
comprising <FAT files system>.
Procedure:
• Plug the flash drive to the USB port of the IM01.EX communication
module, to do it use PT0084 cable.
• The weighing device detects USB flash drive automatically, as a result
<Import / Export> box is displayed.
28.1. Data Export

33. ANNEX 04 - Barcode Scanner Configuration
1. For communication with barcode scanners, RADWAG scales use RS232
interfaces and simplex transmission (one-way direction), without
handshaking. For this purpose, use of second line of the cable is sufficient.
Used scanners should be equipped with RS232 interface, both hardware
and software handshaking must be disabled.
2. Transmission parameters can be set for both weighing devices and
scanners. For both devices the following parameters must comply: baud
rate, data bits quantity, parity control, stop bits quantity; e.g. 9600,8,N,1 –
baud rate 9600 bit/s, data 8-bits, no parity control, 1 stop bit.
3. Barcode scanners can send additional information apart from the expected
barcode e.g. symbology (type of barcode). Due to the fact that RADWAG
devices and software do not use such information, it is advisable to
disable it.
4. Some RADWAG systems can omit unnecessary coded information by
using parameters that mark the beginning and the length of the code
subjected to analysis.
5. A special protocol is required in order the code be received by RADWAG
equipment. It is required to program an appropriate prefix and suffix. In
RADWAG-adopted standard, the prefix is 01 sign (byte) hexadecimal
format, the suffix is 0D sign (byte) hexadecimal format.
6. Most barcode scanners allow to enable/disable different symbologies
(barcode types).
7. Programming of scanners is performed by reading special barcodes.
8. Scanners marketed together with RADWAG systems are always
configured according to the rules above.
