4.5.10 Parallel Printer Connector, 2000X time and 2000X energy only
The Printer Connector supports several printer models, both dot matrix and ink jet, to
provide printed reports of your weld information, and to provide graphical representation
of your weld results. The tractor feed feature of dot matrix printers is preferred for many
manufacturing applications. If necessary, consult your Branson representative for
recommendations for your specific needs.
The printers listed in Table 4.6
Printer Compatibility have been fully tested to confirm
compatibility with Branson products. Printers that were tested and are NOT compatible are
the Panasonic 1091 and Epson LX300. The printer interface uses a standard 36-pin
Centronics cable (Branson printer cable EDP 100-143-043R).
** Includes both off the shelf and Branson supplied units. However, all units excepting the
Branson supplied Okidata 520 may not stop printing when abort is selected in the menu.
The data may have been transferred to the printer and can’t be halted.
4.5.11 User I/O Interface
The user I/O is a standard interface for automation, provided on the power supply. It
provides the ability for the customer to make their own interface for their automation or
special control or reporting needs. The interface cable has an HD44 female D-shell
connection on the rear of the power supply. The electrical interface outputs may be
configured for open collector mode or for signal mode (signal voltage levels as indicated),
by setting the user I/O DIP switch.
NOTICE
For use with 2000X distance and 2000X force power supplies, refer to
the respective power supply manuals for printer information.
