SETTING UP AND CONNECTING A PRINTER TO THE METAL

General

Information transmitted by the metal detector may be
transferred directly to paper by using a printer.
Alternatively it may be collected by other types of
'intelligent' equipment such as a terminal computer.
This appendix is intended for users who wish to use
their own printer or intelligent equipment. All
references in this text assume a printer is being used,
it applies however equally to any data collection
device.

Requirements Of Your Serial Printer

Currently the printer driver supplied as standard with
the metal detector is designed to drive either a dot
matrix type or an Epson TML60 II printer.
The format of the information being output by the
metal detector is in columns of up to 42 characters.

DETECTOR
The serial communication parameters of your printer
must be setup as follows:
Baud rate :
Data bits :
printer
printer
Start bits :
Stop bits :
Parity bits :
The printer ideally will use hardware handshaking
although X-ON and X-OFF software handshaking is
supported but must be selected from the Engineer
mode.
