7. Communication
This chapter contains information about the serial communication ports present on
the XC880A. The standard unit is equipped with 3 separately configurable RS232 ports,
which the operator can setup to output data at baud rates up to 115Kbps (115200 bps).
The following will guide the operator through the setup and use of the serial
communication ports.
7.1 Output Formats
The XC880A will output data in one of four standard formats. To gain
access to the communication parameters, press the ‘SHIFT’ key followed by ‘F’
(F6). The operator will be prompted for the setup parameters for each port as
described below.
7.1.1 Printer Output
If this output is chosen, and the standard printer (290/295) is
selected, the scale will print a ticket in ASCII format on the selected port.
If one of the barcode printers is selected see section 7.4. The transmitted
data will vary depending on the current state of the XC880A as described
below. The XC880 will also support a number of thermal label printers to
create custom barcode labels (See Section 7.4).
