2.4 Turning the Meter On

The meter can send data to a computer or printer via the 9-pin
serial port (see Figure 5). The printer cable and computer
cable are different. The printer cable is a 9-pin to 25-pin cable
and the computer cable is a 9-pin to 9-pin cable. Be sure to use
the correct cable.
The meter can print to serial printers without an adapter. For
parallel printers, a converter and cable adapter are required. The
Citizen PN60 printer requires a special Citizen adapter. Pressing
the key will send the currently displayed data to the printer.
