5. Security rules
To avoid electrical shock or damage of the scale or
connected peripheral devices, it is necessary to follow the
security rules below.
All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel only.
To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with the scale).
Pay attention that supply voltage is compatible with specified technical data.
Do not use the scale when its cover is opened.
Do not use the scale in explosive conditions.
Do not use the scale in high humidity.
If the scale seems not to operate properly, unplug it from the mains and do not
use until checked by authorised service.
According to legal regulations it if forbidden to dispose
wasted electronic equipment in waste containers.
Please return wasted scale to the point of purchase or other company specialised
in recycling of wasted electronic components.

6.1 Connecting a computer, printer or label printer
The scale is equipped with RS232C, which can be used to connect external devices such as computer or
a printer.
When cooperating with computer, the scale sends weighing result after initialize signal from computer or
after pressing key on the scale.
When cooperating with a printer data is send automatically after result stabilisation, but next transmission is
possible after removing previously weighted sample.
When cooperating with label printer after pressing key, the scale sends instructions set for the label
printer. Label number 0001, hour, data (if the clock is installed and on) and nett weight. During transmission
LabEL communicate is displayed.
The way of sending data and transmission parameters is set using SErIAL special function.
Set of send data is set using special function PrInt.
The following data can be send:
-Header (scale type, Max, d, e, serial number),
-Operator identification number,
-Successive printout number (measurement),
-Identification number or product bar code,
-Number of pcs (PCS function only),
-Single detail mass (PCS function only),
-Nett weight,
-Tare (package mass),
-Gross weight,
-Total mass (Total function only).

8USER MANUAL
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If the scale is equipped with two serial joints Print function is set independently for both interfaces.
Computer must have a special program for cooperation with data from a scale.
Dedicated programs are also offered by AXIS.
Except RS232C joint, the scale can be equipped with USB or Wi-Fi interface.
Needed controllers and instruction can be found on a CD supplied with Axis scales.
6.2 Detailed LonG protocol description
Standard communication parameters: 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, baud rate 9600bps,
After using key, measurement data is send together with text description (NET, TARE, GROSS) –all
set by using Print option. If Print isn’t set then only scale indication is send (as below).
Data exchange (communication):
Readout of scale indication

Readout of actual indication
ComputerScale: Sx1 CR LF –initiaton signal
ScaleComputer: scale sends 16 bytes (the same as SI commad)
Readout of stabilization indicator and actual indication
ComputerScale: Sx3 CR LF –initiaton signal
ScaleComputer: scale send indicator S (stable) or U (unstable) + 16 bytes (the same as SI
command).
Attention:
Network number different than zero (SErIAL / nr function) changes scale working mode: communication
with a computer is possible after logging the scale in with 02h scale number command. To log the scale out
use 03h command.
For example: Using a program to test RS232 interface ( program is available in www.axis.pl / programy
komputerowe ) for scale number 1 please write: $0201 to log in, then SI, and write: $03 to close
communication.
Asking about scale presence in system (testing scale connection with computer):
ComputerScale: SJ CR LF (53h 4Ah 0Dh 0Ah),
ScaleComputer: MJ CR LF (4Dh 4Ah 0Dh 0Ah),

Entering to special function menu (calling MENU key press):
ComputerScale: SF CR LF (53h 46h 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale Computer: without response,
Setting threshold 1 value (option):
ComputerScale: SL D1...DN CR LF (53h 4Ch D1...DN 0Dh 0Ah)
D1...DN –threshold value, maximum 8 characters („-” –negative value, digits, dot –decimal
separator), number of digits after dot should be the same as on scale display,
Scale Computer: without response,
Example:
in order to set low threshold 1000g in scale B1.5 (d=0.5g) the following order should be sent:
S L 1 0 0 0 . 0 CR LF (53h 4Ch 31h 30h 30h 30h 2Eh 30h 0Dh 0Ah),
in order to set low threshold 100kg in scale B150 (d=50g) the following order should be sent:
S L 1 0 0 . 0 0 CR LF (53h 4Ch 31h 30h 30h 2Eh 30h 30h 0Dh 0Ah),),
Setting threshold 2 value (option):
ComputerScale: SH D1...DN CR LF (53h 48h D1...DN 0Dh 0Ah),

6.3 Detailed EPL protocol description
Transmission parameters: 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, baud rate 9600bps,
After using key in scale:
ScaleLabel printer : set of instruction in EPL-2 language that initialize label printing:
US
-
Steering instruction
FR"0001"
-
Label number define instruction
?
-
Instruction that starts list of variable signs
mm:gg
-
5 signs: minutes:hour
rrrr.mm.dd
-
10 signs: year.month.day
masa
-
10 signs: scale indication+ mass unit
P1
-
Steering instruction
Attention:
1. Except variable signs constant signs can also be inscribed e.g. factory name, product name and so on.
2. In standard only one label pattern is possible to printout (number 0001). Using bigger amount of
patterns (other label numbers) is possible thanks to LAbEL special function.
3. To achieve label printout, label printer must have inscribed label pattern (label pattern is created on
computer and using computer it is saved to label printer memory). Label pattern is designed by ZEBRA
DESIGNER program which is supplied together with label printer.
4. Scales parameters and transmission protocol must corespond to label printer type.
