PRINT Softkey
The PC-820 will send a pre-selected print format to a connected printer or
computer when the PRINT softkey is pressed. (The PRINT softkey must be
enabled for this to happen. See the
Service Manual). See the Service Manual
for instructions on selecting the output device and format. Below are examples
of the different outputs to label printers, tapes printers and a computer.
Label Printer Format 1 (4x6 Bar Code Label)
The label contains part number, description, count quantity, piece weight, tare
weight, net weight, time and date.
Label Printer Format 2 (4x6 Data Label)
The label contains part number, description, count quantity, piece weight,
gross weight, tare weight, net weight, time and date.
Some softkeys may not be
enabled in your configuration.
Disregard references to these
softkeys in the manual.
The Eltron Orion printer uses a
slightly smaller label size but
the same information shown for
Formats 1-5 will be printed on
these smaller labels.
In its from-the-factory configura-
tion, the PC-820 must be
connected to the label printers
(Eltron, Prodigy, and 1410)
through COM Port 2 only.
Impact printers and Computers
must be connected through
COM Port 1 only.
See the chart in the System
Block Wiring Diagram of the
Service Manual.
