Please note that if you can’t change any of the settings, then it’s likely Dip Switch 1 is selected to the “off” position on the back of the indicator.  This must be on to make the changes.

While the scale weight reading is stable, and above the minimum of 2 kg, when you press the “*” or print key the data from the indicator will be sent out via the serial port to the printer.
