Press <USB FREE LINK> and configure port settings to enable balance correct
cooperation with computer programs:
SPREAD SHEET– value YES - cooperation with Excel type program,
- value NO – cooperation with other programs,
DELAY – if any ‘looses’ of transferred information occur (caused by data auto-entering or
auto-formatting by computer program) during cooperation with Excel type program,
parameter value should be set to <2>. If the ‘looses’ still occur, parameter value should
be higher. The user can change parameter’s value ranging from 0 (quick data transfer) to
9 (slow data transfer – around 10 characters per second).
CAUTION:
Example of the measurement printout is described in the PRINTOUTS section.
Additionally you can enter a controlling code (of a hexadecimal form) to a printer either at the
beginning of the printout - <P4.2.2 PREFIX> or at the end of it - <P4.2.3 SUFFIX>. Sending these
codes allows to control globally both, information and actions carried out at the beginning and/or at
the end of each printout sent from a balance to a printer.
This function is most frequently used to send an information about the code page of a printout sent
by a balance, at the beginning, and to send a command enabling the crop of a paper in EPSON
printers (if the printer is equipped with an autocutter blade), at the end.
<PREFIX> and <SUFFIX> parameters settings are available for all the printouts sent from balance,
e.g. calibration reports, density, statistics etc., and for the header, footer and GLP printouts.
CAUTION:
It must be remembered that inserting paper crop command to <SUFFIX> parameter (control code) results in
sending the code after each printout. If the user wishes for one whole printout to consist of: HEADER, GLP
PRINTOUT and FOOTER and to be cropped underneath the FOOTER, then the paper crop command should
be inserted only for FOOTER settings as a non-standard printout with <%E> value (paper crop for EPSON
printer). In such a case <SUFFIX> command must remain empty.
To ensure correct cooperation of the balance with the printer (correct printout of diacritical signs of
a given language), respective baud rate obligatory for a given printer must be chosen (see the printer
settings). Additionally code page of a sent printout must be accordant with a code page of a printer.
Accordance of a code page may be obtained in two ways:
• setting the right code page in the settings of a printer (see a user manual of the printer) – it
must be accordant with the printout code page of a balance (1250 code page for POLISH,
CZECH, HUNGARIAN; 1252 for ENGLISH, GERMAN, SPANISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN; 1254 for
TURKISH),
• sending the control code from the balance, which automatically sets the right code page of the
printer (code page accordant with the one of a balance) prior to printout of data taken from the
balance (this possibility is available only for printers with such option – see a user manual of the
printer).
CAUTION! CODES MUST BE ENTERED IN A HEXADECIMAL FORM!
Example balance settings for correct cooperation with TM-U220B EPSON matrix printer connected to
RS232 port (since this printer features only 852 code page, there won’t be any Polish signs on
a printout):
Communication parameters for port to which the printer is connected:
• BAUD RATE - 9600 bit-s
• PARITY – none
Printer parameters for a PERIPHERALS group:
• PORT – COM1 or COM2 (the one to which the printer is connected)
• PREFIX - 1B742D (1250 code page)
• SUFFIX - 1D564108 (paper crop for EPSON printers equipped with an autocutter blade)
