The Avery Brecknell scale can be connected via your printer to weigh products in the register app during a transaction. This is great for locations such as yogurt shops, butchers and grocery stores.

You will need:

• An Epson T-88V-i printer with DB9 Serial interface
• An Avery Brecknell POS Bench Scale - 6710U
• A serial DB9 Male/DB9 Female 8C Null Modem Cable

The printer is ethernet, which must be connected to your network and detected as an available printer before proceeding.

Follow the steps below to configure the printer for use with the weight scale:

1. Select printer in "Default Communications Hub" settings
2. Enable the printers serial port and verify the settings are correct
3. Connect the printer and scale using the DB9 Serial cable
4. Set the scales 'type' setting to ensure correct units are sent to the register app during weighing

Step 1 - Select your printer in the "Default Communications Hub" in the register app

Tap on "Dashboard" ⇨ "Settings" ⇨ "Printers" ⇨ "Advanced" and then "Default Communications Hub" .

From there select the T88V-i printer you have for the scale.

Step 2 - Enable the printers serial port and verify the settings are correct

Open a web browser, then navigate to the printers admin page. This is usually http://

/webconfig. The printers IP address shown in the talech app (see screenshot above) as well as printed out each time the printer is powered on:

The default username and password for the printers /webconfig page are both 'epson' (without the quotes).

Click on 'Serial Comunication Device' and ensure the 'Communication settings' are as follows:

• Serial device communications settings : Use
• Communications speed : 9600
• Data Bit : 7
• Parity : Even
• Stop Bit : 1
• Flow Control : None

Connect the serial cable. Connect the power cable if not already attached.
