Printer and Computer Connections
The meter can send data to a computer or printer via the 9-pin
serial port (see Figure 7). The printer cable and computer
cable are different. The printer cable is a 9-pin to 25-pin cable;
the computer cable is a 9-pin to 9-pin cable. Use the correct cable.
The meter can print to serial printers without an adapter. For
parallel printers, a converter and cable adapter are required. The
Citizen PN60 printer requires a special Citizen adapter.
