It is practical to set the balance or scale to the automatic print (auto PRINT) mode since in this
mode the print command from the converter does not have to be confirmed and the balance
will not generate an acoustic signal in response to each command.
Data transfer between the balance/scale and converter is only possible if they are both set
for same parameters as indicated below:
– Character length (7 or 8 bits)
– Parity check (yes/no/even/odd)
– Baud rates (150/300/600/1,200/2,400/4,800/9,600)
