To activate and select a printer function:
1. Select the PRINTER SCR display using the UP key.
2. Press and hold ENT until the FEM-03 displays the “PRINTER ON” prompt.
3. The unit first offers a NO response. To activate a print function, use the SEL key to toggle the
response to YES and press ENT. The unit now prompts for the mode selection.

PRINTER Hardware Specification/Connection
The factory has tested printer operation with the following combination of equipment:

FEM-03 all models (any software version after/including rev. 1.06)

SXP-320A RS232 serial to parallel converter (JAMECO Catalog Part Number 116935)

HP Deskjet 672 C
The SXP-320A parallel connector plugs directly into the printer, and the serial connector is a 25-pin
female D-sub. Connections between FEM-03 and SXP-320A are as follows:

FEM-03 TX output ( terminal DN 4) connects to pin 2 (RX input) on the 25 pin D-sub.

FEM-03 Common ( terminal DN 6) connects to pin 7 (comm./gnd) on the 25 pin D-sub.
The SPX-320A must be configured as follows:

Baud rate = 9600 (or 19200, 38400, or 57600) Must match the FEM-03 baud rate!

Handshake = XON/XOFF

Data Length = 8 Bits (1 stop bit automatically)

Parity = None

Data direction = S P (serial to parallel)
Configure the FEM-03 baud rate as follows:
1. Use the UP key to select the SERIAL COM display.
2. Press and hold ENT to access the parameters and verify or select a baud rate matching
the SXP-320A converter (9600 recommended). Must match the SXP-320A baud rate!
