Weight printing
General
A printer can be used to print the displayed weight or the displayed flow rate. It can
also be used to print batching report if the Scale Batching Program Option is enabled.
The printer must be connected to one of the G4 Instrument serial communication ports
and the communication parameters must be correctly set.
For details on printing function and set-up see chapters ‘Communication’ and ‘Set-up’.
Print command
Printing is commanded manually by pressing the print key sequence from the front
panel, see section Weight display in this chapter.
Note that using the front panel print function will make the displayed value of gross
weight, net weight or flow rate for the shown scale to be printed.
There is one communication print command for each scale (1 – 8). For each digital
input used as a print command must also the scale number be defined with the
corresponding set-up parameter.
Print indication
The print indication character ‘P’ is shown where ‘Z’ (Zero) or ‘M’ (Motion) indications
normally appear.
The print indication will appear even if no printer is configured and indicates that the
weight is accumulated.
Print restrictions
The displayed weight value (gross or net weight) in the instrument can be printed out
on a connected printer, but on certain conditions:
•
The displayed weight must be higher than the value of 'Min. Weight Print' in sub
menu ‘Calibration/Scale X’. No print out will be done if the weight is too low.
•
If parameter 'Motion Check' in menu 'Calibration/Scale X' is set to 'On', the
displayed value must be stable ('Motion' not shown).
If the weight is not stable ('Motion' shown), printing will be delayed and the print
indication 'P' will be flashing. When the weight has become stable ('Motion' not
shown) printing will be performed.
