German for 'German (Germany) keyboard'. To enable support of this language go to
printer settings on your balance and select Windows -1252 code page (Western
European, Latin-1). The following German diacritical signs are added: ä, ö, ü, ß. The
keyboard layout changes from 'QWERTY' to 'QWERTZ'. The characteristic feature of
such keyboard is 'ß' sign located on the right side of the 'zero'.
Caution!
Free Link printout option allows printing only signs that are available on a keyboard.
Entering capital letters and special signs, by means of key combination where "Shift"
key is pressed, is also possible.
In case of Polish and German, basic special characters (written using key combination
of a given letter and right 'Alt' button) have been added.
Free Link printout option does not support printing of remaining special signs.
CAUTION:
Example of the measurement printout is described in the PRINTOUTS section.
Additionally you can enter a controlling code (of a hexadecimal form) to a printer either at the
beginning of the printout - <P4.2.2 PREFIX> or at the end of it - <P4.2.3 SUFFIX>. Sending these
codes allows to control globally both, information and actions carried out at the beginning and/or at
the end of each printout sent from a balance to a printer.
This function is most frequently used to send an information about the code page of a printout sent
by a balance, at the beginning, and to send a command enabling the crop of a paper in EPSON
printers (if the printer is equipped with an autocutter blade), at the end.
<PREFIX> and <SUFFIX> parameters settings are valid for all the printouts sent from balance, e.g.
calibration reports, density, statistics etc., and for the header, footer and GLP printouts.
CAUTION:
It must be remembered that inserting paper crop command to <SUFFIX> parameter (control code) results in
sending the code after each printout. If the user wishes for one whole printout to consist of: HEADER, GLP
PRINTOUT and FOOTER and to be cropped underneath the FOOTER, then the paper crop command should
be inserted only for FOOTER settings as a non-standard printout with <%E> value (paper crop for EPSON
printer). In such a case <SUFFIX> command must remain empty.
To ensure correct cooperation of the balance with the printer (correct printout of diacritical signs of
a given language), respective baud rate obligatory for a given printer must be chosen (see the printer
settings). Additionally code page of a sent printout must be accordant with a code page of a printer.
Accordance of a code page may be obtained in two ways:
•
setting the right code page in the settings of a printer (see a user manual of the printer) – it
must be accordant with the printout code page of a balance (1250 code page for POLISH,
CZECH, HUNGARIAN; 1252 for ENGLISH, GERMAN, SPANISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN; 1254 for
TURKISH),
•
sending the control code from the balance, which automatically sets the right code page of the
printer (code page accordant with the one of a balance) prior to printout of data taken from the
balance (this possibility is available only for printers with such option – see a user manual of the
printer).
CAUTION! CODES MUST BE ENTERED IN A HEXADECIMAL FORM!
Example balance settings for correct cooperation with TM-U220B EPSON matrix printer connected to
RS232 port (since this printer features only 852 code page, there won't be any Polish signs on
a printout):
Communication parameters for port to which the printer is connected:
•
BAUD RATE - 9600 bit-s
•
PARITY – none
Printer parameters for a PERIPHERALS group:
•
PORT – COM1 or COM2 (the one to which the printer is connected)
