Serial Printer
The MAPware-7000 software supports the ability to assign a serial printer to one of the serial Com ports on the
HMC7000. This is done in much the same way as assigning an external PLC (see last section):
Attributes:
Port: select which serial COM port is connected to the printer.
Printer Port Settings- click on this option to set communications parameters.
Baud Rate- baud rate setting for the serial printer
Parity- parity setting for the serial printer
No of Bits- the number of data bits set on the serial printer
Terminating Character- the type of terminating character issued by the serial printer after reaching the end of the
columns. Default is None.
Printer Columns – the total number of columns or number of characters printed before the terminating character is
issued. Range is 1 to 256, default is 80.
Note: when printing a screen, the HMC7000 can only print text characters that appear on the screen- no graphics. You
can send data to the serial printer in a number of ways:

Set the Screen Print Properties attribute for a screen

Use a Function Key to Print Data

Set a Function Key to Key Specific Task-Print Group
USB Flash Drive
Each HMC7000 model has a built-in USB Device (Slave) port with a Type B socket connector. This port is used solely
for uploading/downloading projects to the unit using a USB cable attached to the USB port on your computer.
The HMC7070A-M, HMC7057A-M, HMC7043A-M, and HMC7035A-M models also have a USB Host port with a Type
A receptacle connector. This port can be used to upload/download projects that have been loaded onto a USB Flash
drive. This port is also used by the Data Logger feature.
