Printing from the Instrument

The optional Seiko DPU-414-30B printer is not included with the
standard vb kit.
Connecting and setting up the printer to the instrument is outlined as
follows:
•
Plug the printer cable D connector into the printer serial input
and the 5 pin connector plug into the instrument's RS232
port.
•
Switch the printer on and ensure the ON LINE indicator
(green) is on, as it does not come on automatically on some
printers, and will need the ON LINE button pressed.
Caution: When using the DPU-414-30B printer, use only the Seiko
power adapter provided (6.5 Volt output). Printer damage may occur
if any other power adapter is used.
Notes:
Earlier models of Seiko DPU printer are not supported. In particular
the DPU-411 printer is not supported.
When using the DPU-414 printer ensure that its internal battery is
charged prior to operation. If the printer battery is flat the printer will
switch itself Off Line and printing will cease.

Printing Balancing Reports from the Instrument

Although the most flexible way to print balancing reports is to upload
the data to Ascent, it is also possible to print directly from the
instrument. (see Print Report on page 143 for full details).

DPU-414-30B Printer Setup

The DPU-414-30B has a virtual DIP SW which should be set up the
first time the printer is used. You may need to reset operational
settings if the supply voltage is interrupted.
Caution: Never turn the printer off while it is writing the new setting
to memory. Always wait until DIP SW setting complete !! is printed
before turning the power off.
