RS-232 Printing
If the RS-βγβ interface “Mode” is set to “ZM400 Printer” (input parameter DWβ4 set to “β), then a
Zebra ZM400 printer may be connected to the port to print End of Reel report tickets when triggered
by the “End of Reel” logic input (see the “Logic Inputs” section for connection and configuration
information).
Ensure that the RS-232 baud rate (input parameter DW23) is configured to the same value as set on
the printer (9600 by default).
