Introduction

1.1

What are the capabilities of the RS-P42 Printer

The RS-P42 is a rugged and simple to operate dot matrix printer for METTLER TOLEDO balances
with an RS232C interface. The printout on normal paper fulfills the requirements of modern quality
assurance systems (GLP, GMP, ISO 9001, etc.). These define, among other things, the principles
and duties for the user of measuring instruments or inspection, measuring and test equipment. The
RS-P42 complies with the principle of traceability of measurements by precisely documenting the
origin of data, as well as calibration procedures. It fulfills the obligation to archive measurement
results by its thermally stable and lightfast print. On connection to METTLER TOLEDO balances,
the RS-P42 prints all data sent by the balance without restriction, that is not only weight values
and calibration procedures, but also the results of all applications, built into the balance.

Safety measures

The RS-P42 has been tested for the connections and intended purposes documented in these
Operating Instructions. However, this does not absolve you from the responsibility of performing
your own tests of the product supplied by us regarding its suitability for the methods and purposes
you intend to use it for. You should therefore observe the following safety measures.
• The RS-P42 Printer may be used only indoors and on no
account in hazardous areas.
• The electronics of the RS-P42Printer are protected against the
ingress of splashing water and dust. However, as the printer
housing is not tight the printer should not be used in the
presence of liquids.
• Comply with cleaning instructions (see item 5.3), protect
power plug against wet conditions.
• Never open the printer housing. Should you ever have pro-
blems with your printer, please contact your responsible
METTLER TOLEDO dealer.
