10 RS-232 interface
RS-232 ensures two-way data exchange between the scale and external devices. Da-
ta is sent asynchronously in ASCII code.
To ensure communication between the balance and the printer, the following condi-
tions must be met:
• Connect the scale with the printer interface using the appropriate cable. Trou-
ble-free operation is ensured only when the appropriate interface cable by
KERN is used.
• Communication parameters (e.g. transmission speed) of the scale and the
printer must be compliant.
