SETTING THE PRINT FUNCTION

The 

PRINT

 key can be setup to send readings to a printer or computer under

different parameters via the RS-232 port. The selectable print functions are:

stable

 

print 

which will only print once a stable reading is attained,

 instant

print

 which will print immediately after the 

PRINT

 key is pressed (note: the

reading may not be stable) and 

interval

 

print 

which may be programmed to

print at predetermined time intervals. The number of 

line feeds

 may also be

set for label printing. The print function is separate from the line feed setup,
i.e., set the print function first then re-enter the print menu to program the
number of line feeds.

To set the
