3.4.4 Printer Set-Up
NOTE: This section only applies to printer. If you are using the COMM for
connecting a computer, PLC or other device using a protocol, skip this
section and refer to Section 3.4.3.
The Micro-Tech 3104 has a fully programmable printer format. The following section
explains how to program the Print scroll according to the specific needs.
The system can be configured to operate without any handshake (NONE), or using
the Clear To Send signal (CTS) or the XON-XOFF sequence. Refer to the instruction
manual of the printer to define which selection is required. The selection NONE is only
supplied for testing purposes, but is not recommended for normal use. If NONE is
selected, the system is not able to recognize if the printer is on line or not, or if the
paper is empty.
The most commonly used protocol is the CTS, which is a signal generated by the
printer to indicate whether it is ready to receive data or not.
WARNING
THE CTS INPUT CAN ONLY BE USED WHEN JUMPERS ARE SET FOR RS232.
ATTEMPTING TO ENABLE THE CTS SOFTWARE CONTROL IN RS485 MODE
WILL RESULT IN LOCK-UP OF THE LINE.
