1.0 ADAM PRINTER WITH STATISTICS
•The Adam Printer is a general purpose thermo tally roll printer
specifically designed to work with the Adam series of balances.
•The Printer with Statistics allows the user to collect data from Adam
balances and then print statistical information about the data.
Alternately it can be set as a standard printer to collect data without the
statistics.
•The printer comes preset to work with the default RS-232 interface
found on the Adam balances. It can easily be changed to work as a
standard printer with other equipments as well.
•The printer is easy to use with only a Paper Feed button (grey button)
and a Print switch (red button).The Print switch sends commands to
request data from Adam balances.

3.0 PAPER LOADING
See the following diagram. Cut the paper at an angle and feed into the slot from rear.
Press and hold the Paper Feed button until the paper passes through the printer.
Do not pull the paper or it force through the slot.
If the paper does not feed easily check whether you are using the paper entry slot
and there are no obstructions in the paper path.

4.0 CONFIGURATION
•The printer is set with the dip-switches under the paper roll. See the
drawing on the previous page.
•When configured as a statistics printer it will work with the Adam
balances only. Data from the balances will be collected and the
statistical information on the readings from the balance can be printed.
The date and time can also be printed with the data.
•When the printer is set for standard printing it can be used with most
RS-232 devices to print the data from them. The date and time are not
available.
•To reset the parameters turn the printer off. Set the switches as desired
and then turn the printer on.

6.0 STATISTICS OPERATION
•The printer has 2 switches to assist in printing statistical information for
data received from balances. The [Paper Feed] switch (Grey button)
normally advances the paper. In addition the printer has another
switch, [Print] (Red button) which is used to send the Print command
to balances and in conjunction with the Paper Feed for some
operations.
•When power is turned on, the Statistics function is automatically
enabled if SW8 is ON.
•Send data to the printer from the scale by pressing the [Print] key on
the printer, by pressing the [Print] key on the scale or by setting the
scale to automatically print when stable.
•During data collection, the last data can be erased if it is erroneous by
pressing the [Paper Feed] then [Print] switch in sequence.
•Continue to collect the data in this manner. At any time data collection
can be stopped by holding down the [Paper Feed] and then pressing
[Print] and releasing both the buttons.
The following options are displayed
PRINT Press [Print] to get a Statistics Report
PRINT + PF Start a new Series by holding [Print] then pressing
the [Paper Feed] switch
PF + PRINT Continue by holding [Paper Feed] then pressing the
[Print] switch
© Adam Equipment Company 2004
The Statistics Report consists of the following information
n = number of results
sum x = sum of all results
x = average
s = standard deviation (n-1)
srel = relative standard deviation]
min = minimum value
max = maximum value
R = range (max – min)
The equations used are:
•During the time the data collection is suspended, the printer can be
used for normal printing as long as the RS-232 settings are 4800 baud,
no parity, 8 bit.
•Hold [Paper Feed] and press [Print] to continue with the data
collection procedure or hold [Print] and then press [Paper Feed] to
start a new set of data collection.
•If the printer detects a change in format or an error during the data
collection, a message of * Data Error * will be printed. If the message
does not get cleared when the balance data is sent to the printer, it
may be necessary to turn the printer off and then on, before starting the
data collection again.

7.0 NORMAL PRINTING
•If the printer is changed to perform as a normal serial printer (SW8
OFF) then the setting of the other switches will need to be changed to
match the baud rate, parity and the other printer settings.
•Turn the power off when setting the switches and the new parameters
will become active when the power is turned back to ON.
•The printer generally uses the IBM Proprinter commands, with
additional special codes to print the date and time.
8.0 SETTING DATE AND TIME
•Hold the [Paper Feed] key down when the power is turned on. The
printer will go into a date/time setting mode. Regardless of the internal
switch settings, proceed as follows.
•An ASCII string must be sent to the printer to set the date and time.
One method of doing this is to connect the printer to a PC or other
terminal device. Send the following commands to the printer from the
DOS prompt.
•Comx is the active Com port the printer is connected to. For example to
set 18 May 1999, 9:25 AM send T99;05;18;09;25;00<enter> CTRL-
Z<enter> then turn the power off. To begin the normal operation turn
the power on. The baud rate and parity should be as set above
regardless of how the printer is configured using the dip-switches.
•A program to set the date and time is available from Adam Equipment.
This program will run under Windows. Contact your supplier for details.
