Print Button
If the Print option is purchased, the Print Button can be used to either print data or
to freeze the display. If the Hold option is purchased, the functionality of the
button is set using the System Setup options. Otherwise, the button can only
control the ability to print data.
In Run Mode, if the System Setup Options Print/Hold button is set to Hold, the
Print button will freeze and unfreeze the run mode numerical display. Press once
to freeze the display at the current value. Press again to return display to actual
reading from sensor. See Setup Mode information for the use of the Esc button
during setup.
If the Print button is set to Print, it will send a set of data to the printer. This will
contain the current readings of load, peak, valley, position, velocity, and limit
status. The units used for printing will be the units last selected on the numerical
display.
The printer must be a serial printer that supports ESC/P protocol. Many Epson
printers with serial ports are known to be compatible.
Appendix B gives the pin assignments on the serial connector.
