Different printers require different formatting control codes. Other printers might provide correct
operation when connected to the Control Center. However, the print format may not be correct or
as required.
Proceed with caution and use the following guidelines if an unlisted printer is selected:
1. All printers must be capable of RS-232 serial communications.
2. The primary differences between printers involve the formatting control codes required
by the printer. These codes are sent from the Control Center to the printer. For example,
Weigh-Tronix printers require a control code to select 40 column width. This same code
is interpreted by the OKI Data printer as an instruction to print wide characters. In some
instances, a printer will ignore a code it cannot interpret.
3. The Control Center requires a busy signal from the printer when the printer receive buffer
is full. This causes the Control Center to momentarily terminate data transmission until the
printer can accept more data. The busy signal polarity must be asserted low when busy.
