Futrex 5000/XL - Manual (Page 32)

The FUTREX-5000A/WL can directly communicate with an external printer without need for any external computer using Futrex's
unique full color fitness forms. The following is required if you desire to use this feature:
! Preprinted Color Forms - This 4 page form provides extensive data for your clients.
! Printer - Epson Model LX-300
! RS-232 Serial Cable - To communicate from the FUTREX-5000A/WL to the Epson Printer.
This printing function is performed as follows:
1)
Turn both the printer and FUTREX-5000A/WL on. Wait for countdown to finish or press CLEAR. The RS-232 serial cable
should be attached between the units.
2) Press SELECT PROGRAMS, then COLOR PRINTER. The FUTREX-5000A/WL internal printer will display:
"Use Previous Data; 1 = YES, 2 = NO".
If you type in "NO" (i.e. "2"), follow the Fitness Analysis Procedure described on page 23 starting with Step 5.
3) If "YES" (i.e. "1") was typed in, the FUTREX-5000A/WL will use the data from the last person that was measured and the
instrument's printer will ask:
! "Enter Activity Level" - This is the amount of daily physical activity the person does during normal work
environment. It does not include any exercise program the person does. Enter either LIGHT (e.g. office work),
MODERATE (e.g. someone delivering mail), or HEAVY (e.g. a ditch digger).
4)
Enter "Body Frame" and "Activity Level" as described in the
Fitness Analysis procedure (page 24, items 8 and 11).
COLOR PRINTER
CAUTION: Color Forms must be in printer.
NOTE: Printer must be set to 2400 bit rate (page 2-21 in Epson Users' Guide). If a malfunction occurs
(e.g. paper jam), you must turn off both the printer and the FUTREX-5000A/WL before restarting.
