Demand Print Displaying
The indicator and the LaserLight remote display can be set up to do a demand print display for such applications as cattle
weighing. This is useful if to maintain the last weight of an animal.
Demand print display can be set up using Auto-Learn when the Port 0, Hold Weight parameter is turned On, and it is set up
manually by formatting the baud rate, data bits, parity and others of the remote display and the indicator.
Using Auto-Learn, ensure HOLD WT is on and continuously push the print button on the indicator to attempt a demand print display.

Serial Commands
The LaserLight remote display has the ability to receive commands, display messages, or use a digital I/O (2 inputs and 2
outputs). When interfaced to an indicator having a configurable serial string like the IQ plus 355, 710, 800, or 810, the print
ticket format can be configured to allow the user to use the Print key to send a message which temporarily interrupts the
streamed weight display. The amount of time the message is displayed is defined by the MSG TM (message time) parameter
under the CONFIG menu in the remote display, for the 7-segment remote display.
If the LaserLight remote display is interfaced with a programmable smart indicator like the 920i, a user program can be written
to allow the user to send messages utilizing softkeys or events. When sending messages from a user program, the user can
send one message to temporarily override the streamed weight display or send multiple messages to be displayed one at a
time for several seconds each, replacing the weight display all together if desired.
The remote display also accepts serial commands to return the current time and date or to set the time and date to a new
setting. This information can be used in conjunction with user programs in the 920i to ensure the indicator and remote display
have the same time and date settings.
