Intended Use Model YDP 03-0CE is a data printer designed to receive weighing data from a connected weighing instrument and to print them on plain paper (roll width: 57.5 mm). Text and data are printed with up to 24 characters per line. This data printer is equipped with a real-time clock. After the printer has been configured according to the required settings, it is suitable for use in legal metrology.
Safety Precautions The data printer complies with the EC Directives and Standards for electrical equipment and electromagnetic compatibility. Use only rechargeable AA batteries of the following type: nickel-cadmium UM-3, order no. 69Y03136. Avoid draining the batteries excessively; otherwise, this will reduce their recharging capacity. Used batteries are hazardous waste and must be properly disposed of according to your local hazardous waste disposal regulations.
Installation Equipment Supplied The following components are supplied: – Interface cable for connecting the printer to a weighing instrument – Black ink ribbon cassette (is installed) – 4 rechargeable batteries – Paper roll Installing the Rechargeable Batteries • Remove the 4 batteries from the packaging (they are discharged) • Lift the cover of the paper roll compartment • To open the battery compartment, tilt back the cover • Install the 4 rechargeable batteries in the battery compartment.
Connecting the Data Printer to a Weighing Instrument • Connect the interface cable to the printer and the weighing instrument you are using. Secure the connection.
Installing the Ink Ribbon Cassette • To install the ink ribbon cassette, refer to “Maintenance” on page 33 Inserting the Paper Roll • Insert the paper roll as described in “Maintenance” on page 33 Setting the Date and Time • For instructions on setting the date and time, please refer to “Settings” on page 21 Supplying the Printer with External Power The printer must be supplied with external power via an AC adapter (optional, see “Accessories”), if one of the following devices is connected: – an MP8-1/MP8-2
Operation The data printer has 6 function keys for operation: : Line Feed. Press the LF key to advance the paper by one blank line. : Numbering Function ON/OFF. This is only possible if the numbering function ( -p4-) in the menu “Interface Settings for the Data Printer” has been activated (page 24). The readout shown on the left will be displayed once the numbering function has been activated. The numbering function generates a consecutive index number from 001 to 999. : Clear Number.
: Prints the values or reads them into the statistics memory: Prints the data of the connected weighing instrument without statistics With the statistics program (-a3- page 29): Data Transfer in Manual Mode: In this mode, the current data are transferred from the weighing instrument and read into the statistics memory. (The printing function can be turned either on or off). Data Transfer in Automatic Mode: In this mode, printouts are started automatically.
Statistical Evaluation of the Data The printer’s built-in statistics program can process all values that are computed or weighed and transferred from an on-line weighing instrument. To use this function, you must activate the statistics program (-a3-) in the “Statistics Applications” menu (see “Settings”). When the program is activated, the code shown on the right will appear each time (approx. 0.5 sec.) to indicate that a particular value is being read into the statistics memory.
Printing Individual Values All values upon which the statistical evaluation is to be based will be printed out if you set the “Statistics Applications” menu as follows: – Printout of the statistic program values = 1 (-a4-) (Factory setting = 1: all values will be printed) If you now deactivate the numbering function by key, the individual values will not pressing the be printed. They will be read into the statistics memory. The counter on the display will increase by 1 for each value.
Data Transfer and Statistical Evaluation in the Manual Mode Required Printer Configuration You must set the following printer configuration in the “Statistics Applications” menu: – Statistics program = 1 (-a3-) (Factory setting = 1) The symbol shown on the left will be displayed – Data printout = 1 (-a4-) – Data transfer manual/automatic = 0 (-p5-).
If you have deactivated the automatic taring function (-a2-): 123456789012345678901234 001: 002: 003: + + + 123.6 117.8 119.
Data Transfer and Statistical Evaluation in the Automatic Mode Data Transfer The first value transferred must be greater than 30 scale intervals of the weighing instrument’s display (e.g., > 3.0 g, if the weighing instrument displays decigrams). The weighing instrument must display a stability symbol (fluctuation > 1 scale interval). The first value read into the statistics memory is used as the reference value for the statistics.
Recording and Evaluating Data key to clear the statistics memory • Press the prior to initial data transfer > Any previous values remaining will be evaluated first, then you will obtain a printout of the statistics. The statistics will be deleted. • Place the first sample on the weighing pan • To activate data transfer, press the p key > The readout shown on the left will appear > “STAT” will be displayed for approx. 0.5 sec.

Use in Legal Metrology in the EU and the Signatories of the Agreement on the EEA The German Federal Institute of Physics and Metrology (PTB) has issued an independent test certificate, number D09-96.15, for the YDP03-0CE. Based on this certificate, the printer is allowed to be used in legal metrological applications in the EU and the EEA, provided that the printer is operated with weighing instruments verified for such use by an EC or national type-approval certificate.
