IQ PLUS 310A — ELTRON SETUP
RS-232 Serial or
Centronics Parallel
RS-232RS-232
PC with Create-A-Label Tools program Eltron Printer KDU Keyboard IQ plus 310A Indicator
The IQ plus 310A indicator requires a KDU keyboard to interface with an Eltron printer.
Indicator Configuration
1. Configure the indicator to send RS-232 serial data out either the EDP or Printer Port. Configure the indicator’s
PRINTER or EDP submenu as follows:
Mode=Demand
Baud=4800
Bits=8 none
Termin=CR/LF
EOL DLY=0ms (for single weight printing) or 1500 ms (for gross/tare/net printing)
Format=CC
Printer=Generic
2. Configure the Pticket (if Printer Port is used) or Eticket (if EDP is used) parameter as follows:
Field 1=gross, TLE 01, LSP 00. This is the only field necessary if Gross only; leave other fields blank.
Field 2=tare, TLE 01, LSP 00
Field 3=net, TLE 01, LSP 00
Field 4=blank, TLE 01, LSP 00
Printer Configuration
No changes to the default settings are necessary.
Hardware Cabling
1. Connect the PC to the printer with the appropriate
serial or parallel cable.
If the printer has a parallel connector, use a parallel
cable and one of the LPT parallel connectors on the
computer. When labels created on the PC with CAL
Tools are downloaded to the printer, parallel
transfer is several times faster than serial transfer.
If the printer only has a DB-9 or DB-25 serial
connector, use a serial cable and one of the COM
serial connectors on the computer.
2. Connect the printer to the KDU with the fixed DB-9
connector. If the printer’s DB-9 serial connector is in
use by the PC, wait until all labels are downloaded
before connecting the KDU.
3. Connect the KDU to the indicator via serial RS-232
cable.
Wire the RS-232 cable from the RS-232 pins of the KDU's DB-9 connector (3–RXD, 5–GND) to the IQ plus
310A serial communication terminal strip. Use J4-5=TXD and J4-2=GND for the Printer Port. Use J4-1 TXD
and J4-2 GND for the EDP port.
