Emerson Series 3000 MVD Manuel D’Utilisation

102

After configuring the printer, select Printer Test to perform a printer test. A standard test page should 
be produced at the printer. When the printer test is complete, the display reads “Print Test Complete.”

If printing does not occur:

•

Check RS-485 output wiring. See Section 3.3.

•

Make sure printer configuration settings are compatible with the selected printer. See the 
instructions for the selected printer.

The Bell 202 parameters are used to configure HART communications over the Bell 202 physical 
layer. (To set up Bell 202 communications, see Section 3.4.)

When using HART/Bell 202 communications, baud rate, stop bits, parity, and data bits have standard 
values and cannot be changed. Parameters that can be set for Bell 202 communications are listed and 
defined in Table 13-4.

Stop bits

1 bit

Enter 1 or 2 stop bits as required by the printer.

Chars per 
second

Variable

Enter the number of characters per second to be sent to the printer. The range 
is 1–1000.
The default value for the generic printer is very low, resulting in very slow 
printing. Micro Motion recommends checking this parameter and setting it 
appropriately for the printer being used.

Print buf size

Variable

Enter the size of the print buffer, in characters. The range is 32–32768.
The default value for the generic printer is very low, resulting in very slow 
printing. Micro Motion recommends checking this parameter and setting it 
appropriately for the printer being used.

Lines per page

25

This parameter is read-only, and shown only for user reference. If you are 
printing more than 25 lines of data, you will need to insert multiple tickets or use 
a roll of paper.

Disable paper 
check

Yes

Valid only for the Epson ticket printer.
If it is enabled, and an out-of-paper condition is detected:

• If the custody transfer application is installed and World Area is set to OIML, a 

print failure message is shown on the Series 3000 display for five seconds.

• In all other cases, an A130 alarm is posted. The alarm is cleared when the 

out-of-paper condition is removed.

Polling address

(1)

0

Enter the HART polling address to be assigned to the Series 3000 device. Valid 
HART polling addresses are in the range 0–15. 

Loop current 
mode

(2)

Disable

• Select Enable to enable Loop Current Mode.
• Select Disable to disable Loop Current Mode.

Burst mode

(3)

Disable

• Select Enable to enable burst mode.
• Select Disable to disable burst mode.
