Cash box drawer 

Mains cable 

 

 

 

CAUTION

  

  When using a serial interface, error-free operation is only ensured 

with the enclosed interface cable and the corresponding KERN 
interface cable (option). 
If necessary, use the zero modem supplied and a gender changer. 

  Never attempt to stretch the cable or over-extend the cable to 

establish a connection. The mains cable must not be taut during use. 

 

1.  Make sure that the printer is switched off. 

2.  Connect the interface cable to the printer. 

3.  Connecting the Interface cable to the scales 

4.  Connecting the AC cable to the AC adapter 

5.  Plug in the mains cable for the mains adapter and connect it to the power supply.  

 

6  Configuring the printer 

The following conditions must be met to provide successful communication between 
the weighing balance and the printer. 

Disconnect balance from the power supply and connect to the printer interface 
with a suitable cable. Error-free operation is only guaranteed with the enclosed 
interface cable and the corresponding KERN interface cable. 

Communications parameters (e.g. baud rate, bits and parity) for the scales and 
printer interface must match. The communication parameters for the printer are 
set with the DIP switches as described below.
