Printer Connection
The ExpressCube™ countertop unit is equipped with a female
RS-232 serial printer port. The port is activated when the
ExpressCube™ countertop unit has acquired data through a
successful measurement. Upon receiving a 'Print' command, the
printer port will deliver the data in an ASCII format that is
terminated with a line feed and carriage return. The RS-232
connector should be securely connected to the appropriate
connector on the ExpressCube™ countertop.
The ExpressCube countertop unit has been specifically
set up using the Star SP-300 Series ASCII model. While most
ASCII RS-232 printers follow virtually identical data formats,
the user is responsible to assure their selected printer is
compatible to the Star-300 series format.
For detailed description of the data format to the printer, refer to the Technical Data
Summary in the appendix of this manual.

Connection of the Ethernet LAN (Option)
A physical LAN port has been accommodated on the rear connector panel of all
ExpressCube countertop units but the necessary support hardware & software will not
be introduced unto t he 3
The ExpressCube™ countertop unit at this time will be equipped
with an active 10 Base T Ethernet LAN port. The user will be able
to send acquired measurement data to a remote server for
recording and/or billing purposes. The LAN device will only be
used to record package data and is not intended to be used to
control the ExpressCube™ countertop functions.
The LAN connector is a standard RJ-45 connector. The LAN port
configuration is programmed through the USB connector using the
ExpressCube™ countertop maintenance software. The port
configuration is recorded on non-volatile memory and will remain until reprogrammed through the
USB connector.
