5. NOTES BEFORE STARTING PROGRAMMING
1) Be sure to plug the power plug into an AC outlet.
2) Turn the control lock to “PROGCMT” position, and the scale will be placed in programming mode.
5.1 Installing PC Keyboard
If you set the data with PC keyboard, connect the PC keyboard plug to the PC keyboard connector.
Then check whether the keys on the PC keyboard can enter information properly or not.
NOTE: The PC keyboard has its own particular baud rate. During the initial settings, therefore,
make sure to set the SL-5900 baud rate to match the keyboard’s baud rate.
5.2 Installing RK-3 Keyboard
If you set the data with RK-3 keyboard, prepare the Programming Keyboard Adapter OP-57-RK-3
(option) and Programming Keyboard RK-3 (option).
1) Connect the plug of the OP-57-RK-3 to the PC keyboard connector.
2) Connect the RK-3 keyboard connector to the OP-57-RK-3 connector.
3) Attach the key-sheet OP-57-RK-KS (accessory of OP-57-RK-3) to the RK-3 keyboard.
4) Check whether the keys on the RK-3 keyboard can enter information properly or not.

l CMT Operations
The SL-5900 is designed to interface with a Cassette Magnetic Tape loader.
The CMT loader allows the transfer of the entire PLU file from the SL-5900 to magnetic tape.
This can be accomplished in a number of operation steps. In turn, information from the magnetic
tape can also be transferred to another SL-5900.
