PC-Prtr – Computer and Printer Interface Function:
This function is used to set the format of the data sent through the balance’s RS-232 port when the PRINT button is pressed or when a
print command is issue by an attached computer.
• Repeatedly press the MENU button until PC-Prtr is displayed.

• Press the PRINT button to select the desired option and return the balance to its normal weighing mode.
Note: *Prt tIM and Prt GLP are only available if printer Model Custom DP24E4 is used.
Note: **The speed of the continuous transmission is dependent on the baud rate selected. If continuous send is selected the
balance will continue to send data until this function is turned off by using the preceding procedure to select one of the
other formats.
Note: When the balance’s display shows overload (┌ -- -- -- -- -- ┐) or underload (└ -- -- -- -- -- ┘) “over” and “under”
respectively will be printed when in the continuous send (PC) mode. The send command is ignored in any of the other 3
modes.
bAud rt – Baud Rate Selection:
The balance is delivered in 9600 baud. To change the baud rate of the balance’s serial port proceed as follows.
• Repeatedly press the MENU button until bAud rt is displayed.
• Press the PRINT button to select this function.
• Press the MENU button repeatedly to scroll through the available baud rates 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600.
• Press the PRINT button to select the desired speed and return the balance to its normal weighing mode.
Note: The baud rate of the balance must match the baud rate of the printer or computer connected to the balance’s serial
port.
FiltEr – Filter Selection:
All balances are equipped with three user-selectable vibration filters which reduce nervous readings in varying weighing conditions,
especially vibrations. The balance is delivered in FiltEr 3. To change the filter setting, proceed as follows.
• Repeatedly press the MENU button until FiltEr is displayed.
• Press the PRINT button to select this function.
• Press the MENU button repeatedly to scroll through the 3 available options.
o FiltEr1 Least aggressive filtering for use in very stable environmental conditions.
o FiltEr2 More aggressive filtering for less stable conditions.

• Press the PRINT button to select the desired setting and return the balance to its normal weighing mode.
Auto 0 – Auto Zero Tracking:
Auto zero tracking is a software function that enables the balance to keep the display at a 0.0 reading. It prevents minor
environmental “noise” from causing the balance to drift away from a 0.0 reading. The balance is delivered with auto zero turned on.
The auto zero tracking function can be turned on or off as follows.
• Repeatedly press the MENU button until Auto 0 is displayed.
