Parameters 35, 36, 37, and 38: Print Codes
The IDS 410/422 provides 4 programmable print codes. The print codes are used to send special
setup parameters to the printer, such as select print size or select print font. Each print code is up
to 4 characters long. Consult your printer manual for the print codes that you may want to use.
Enter the codes in decimal format (an ASCII carriage return = 13). Select parameter 35 to begin
print code 1 entry. The IDS 410/422 prompts "C0 XXX" where xxx is the current character 0
print code value. Enter data for character 0. The IDS 410/422 prompts "C1 XXX". Continue
the code entry. Enter a 0 to end print code entry.
Parameter 39: Enable TTL Remote Control (1 [enabled])
Use parameter 39 to enable remote control using TTL inputs 1 through 3 (TB3 terminals 8, 9
and 10).
Enter a 1 to activate scale basic functions 1 - 3. For example, grounding TB3 pin 8 (TTL input 1)
activates scale basic function 1.Enter a 0 to disable TTL remote control.

The brightness can be set from 1 (dimmest) to 15 (brightest).
Parameter 41: Battery backup (0[off])
Parameter 41 is used to preserve the time and date, memory registers, and ID memory
when power is lost. Set parameter 41 to ON (1) this will prevent the IDS 410/422 from
clearing the memory when power is restored. Set parameter 41 to OFF (0) to erase
memory when power is restored.
Parameter 42: Enable Watch Dog Timer (0 [no])
The watch dog timer resets the IDS 410/422 when the weight display is not updated within the
time-out time (0.2 sec). Set the Enable ON (1) to reset after time-out. Set the Enable OFF (0) to
turn off the watch dog timer.
Parameters 43-50: Fixed Registers
The Fixed Registers are used by the Trip-Level Event Monitor to determine when a trip-level is
reached. These parameters are set by the Mode of Operation selection (parameter 73) as needed.
