26 MSI-8000 Operator’s Manual
5.7 Control Modes
The user can select four control modes:
• User - Printing is controlled by the operator pushing the PRINT key (usually F3).
• Load - One print output when a stable load is reached. The scale must return to near
zero before another print will occur. Other configurations of “On Load” are available
using the SCCMP program (ScaleCore Configuration Management Program).
• Continuous - The MSI-8000 will continuously output the data at a rate controlled by
the “rAtE” (RATE) menu.
• Off - Printing is disabled. Power consumption is lower with print off.

In the string number entry screen, you can enter combinations of the standard print strings.
For example, to get a NET GROSS TARE printout with a space between records, simply
enter “2349.”
Using SCCMP application, custom output strings are possible. See the SCCMP
programming guide for details.
The serial output is configured as 9600 baud, Xon/Xoff handshaking, no hardware
handshaking, 1 stop bit, no parity. Other baud rates are possible by special order only.
