Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices § Make absolutely sure to unplug the scale from AC power before you connect or disconnect a peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from the interface port. For battery operation: > Press the [ON/OFF] key to shut off the power completely (scale does not go into standby mode).
Operating the Scale Weighing Features – Zeroing the scale Depending on the prevailing ambient conditions, the display may not show a zero readout even though there is no load on the scale. If the weight shown is less than 2% of the scale’s maximum weighing capacity, you can zero the scale.

Data Input Format You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands via the scale interface port to control the functions of the scale and applications (such as counting). The commands sent are control commands and may have different formats. Control commands can consist of up to 4 characters.
Page 37
If you do not plug a peripheral device into the scale interface port, this will not generate an error message. Handshake The scale interface (Sartorius Balance Interface = SBI) has transmit and receive buffers. You can define the handshake parameter in the menu: – Hardware handshake (CTS/DTR) –...
Page 38
Software Handshake The software handshake is controlled via XON and XOFF. When a device is switched on, XON must be transmitted to enable any connected device to communicate. Activating Data Output You can define the data output parameter so that output is activated either when a print command is received or automatically and synchronous with the scale display or at defined intervals (see application...
