Serial Output Setup
There are three different serial output modes for the PT300, “on-demand”, “continuous”, and
“accumulating print”. The rest of this section provides more information on these modes.
To setup the serial output mode: Press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE and ZERO buttons
simultaneously until the display shows “b
bb b.LitE LitE LitE LitE”, Press the PRINT/ ACCUMULATE button to scroll
through the menu (12 times) until the display shows “Prt t Prt t Prt t Prt t”. Press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE
button once to display setting number. Set print mode to the number of the print mode wanted by
using the LOCAL/TOTAL button to increment and the ZERO button decrement the number. .
Communication Mode Setting
On-Demand 0
Continuous 1
Accumulating Print Axle 2
Accumulating Print Standard 3
Note: For best results, only set one scale to ‘1, ‘2 or ‘3. This should also be the scale you
are printing from. ‘0’ is the default setting.
Press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE button. Now the display will display “PbAUd PbAUd PbAUd PbAUd”. Press the
PRINT/ACCUMULATE button to change the baud rate set, press the LOCAL/ TOTAL or the
ZERO button to cycle through the baud rates available. The baud rates available are: 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and115200. When the desired baud rate is displayed, press
the PRINT/ACCUMULATE button. The baud rate only needs to be set on the scale doing the
printing. The settings are saved once PRINT/ACCUMLATE is pressed to advance the menu, and
the scale can then be turned off to exit the Mode Menu.
On-Demand
The weight is transmitted every time the PRINT/ACCUMULATE key is pressed. Press
PRINT/ACCUMULATE to print either the local or total weight (depending on the local/total
setting of the scale). This is the default print mode.
Continuous
The PT300 automatically and continuously outputs the weight at a rate of about once per
second.
