USB PRINTER PORT
This is a USB port. A USB printer or USB Drive plugged in here allows several types
of information to be ported directly to a USB printer or USB Drive giving the benefit of
a permanent printed or digital record. They are:
1. The totals of the material usage data.
Press VIEW and keys or use the PRT parameter to
AUTOMATICALLY and periodically print these totals.
2. A listing of the internal parameter table.
Press 77 in the PROGRAM mode.
3. A printout of information after each cycle including actual dispensed
weights and percentages for every cycle.
Press 54 in the PROGRAM mode, use to set printer flag ON.
4. A printout of information after the TIME or CALIBRATE routines.
54 flag must be on to allow this.
5. Print Display
– This is useful for obtaining printed verification of load
cell accuracy ISO and other international quality program rules.
Press *88 before and after placing a KNOWN CERTIFIED WEIGHT
into the weight bin to print the Date, Time, Machine number and
displayed weight.
6. USB Recipe Command
– Using *34, this command allows a recipe
to be stored on a USB drive and / or used as the primary recipe run
by the controller. For more information, see *34 on page 53.
The USB port
can also be used to update the controller’s software. For information
about updating the controller software see Updating Controller Software and the Star
function 93.
Notes about printing to a USB drive
When saving printout information to a USB drive, the USB drive must
contain a folder named
maguire and within the folder, a file labeled
PRINTER.TXT must be present. It is this file, PRINTER.TXT that
printout functions appended to. Also note that every time a print
occurs to the file on the USB drive, the data is appended to the end of
the file PRINTER.TXT and does not overwrite existing data within the
file.
LOAD CELL input port
On systems with two load cells the leads are joined by a common connector that is
plugged into this port.
