Connecting printers or other USB devices
A printer can be connected directly to the USB connector (Type A) (with a
6.2151.020 connecting cable ), as can a USB keyboard, a barcode reader
or a USB flash drive (for storing and loading methods, etc.).
If several USB devices are to be connected, then it is recommended that a
USB hub (available from specialty stores) be used. The USB hub then func-
tions as a distributor to which several USB devices can then be connected.
Connecting a balance
As a rule, balances are equipped with a serial RS-232 interface. To con-
nect a balance, you require a USB/RS-232 adapter (6.2148.050).
The USB/RS-232 adapter can be connected to the 916 Ti-Touch directly or
by means of a USB hub.
Connect the 9-pin plug of the respective balance connecting cable to the
RS-232 connector. Consult the manual for the balance or the manual for
the 916 Ti-Touch in order to select the correct connecting cable.
The parameters for the RS-232 interface must match those on the instru-
ment and those on the balance. For this purpose, check the manual for
the balance and the manual for the 916 Ti-Touch.
