1. Introduction
1.1
What are the capabilities of the LC-P45 Printer?
The LC-P45 is a versatile dot matrix printer with advanced print functions for normal paper. It can supplement the weight value with date, time and other data. It has two LocalCAN interfaces and one RS-232-C interface and is primarily suitable for attachment to METTLER TOLEDO balances and scales equipped with the standard software, but will also print out the records of the METTLER TOLEDO application software
Pacs (M-Pacs) and of the LP16 and LJ16 METTLER TOLEDO Infrared Dryers.
The various print functions of the LC-P45 can be selected in the dialog mode (English, German, French, Spanish or Italian). The settings are stored in a fail-safe manner thanks to battery buffering.
• Print weight
• Insertion of - Date and time
- Lot identification (ID)
- Balance identification
- Current sample No.
The LC-P45 prints out the weight displayed on the balance directly.
For users complying with quality management regulations such as GLP or GMP or for those who wish for a detailed record of a weighing. You can supplement the weighing result by automatically printing out any of the adjacent data.
- Sample code
• Generate statistics

Pages 7/8
• Totalization
The sample code, a comment for a more detailed definition of the weighing sample, is entered directly for every sample.
Without the need to purchase peripherals or software, the LC-P45 automatically generates statistics of the weight values of your sample series and calculates the most important statistical parameters.
The LC-P45 can also totalize weight values, thus calculating and documenting running totals.
This function is especially useful when weighing in formulations.
3
• Multiplication/division
• Check balance and calibrate
• LP16/LJ16 Infrared Dryer
• Pipette check
4
This function allows weight values to be multiplied or divided by any desired factors, Typical examples are calculating prices based on a price per unit weight or converting weights into volumes.
A check on the accuracy of a balance by means of a test weight is fully documented.
Likewise, adjustment of the balance by means of a calibration weight.
Date, time and lot identification (ID) are automatically added to the record.
This function enables pipettes and other volumetric measuring and dosing apparatus to be calibrated by a simple method which is also completely documented.
2. Startup procedure
2.1
Cautionary notes
For reasons of safety, the housing of the printer must not be opened by the user. If technical faults appear or if the printing unit or power line fuse has to be changed, please notify your responsible METTLER TOLEDO service.
• The LC-P45 Printer may be used only indoors and on no account in hazardous areas.
• The electronics of the LC-P45 Printer 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 page 25), protect power plug against wet conditions.
• Never open the printer housing. Should you ever have problems with your printer, please contact your responsible METTLER TOLEDO dealer.

Inserting the batteries
Two batteries are provided and supply the clock and the memories for the variable settings of the printer when it is not connected to the power supply.
Please note: To avoid loss of any printer settings you may have made, attach the LC-P45
Printer to the power supply when changing the batteries.
• Lift up paper cover and pull paper backward out of the printing unit
• Open battery compartment and insert batteries
Inserting paper
• Feed paper through the slot in the printing unit in the direction of the arrow
• Switch on printer (toggle switch at right rear, the number of the software version will be printed out automatically.)
• Press and hold until sufficient paper has been fed in
Attaching printer, printing
• Plug the cable supplied into the LC-P45 and the I/O data interface of a balance or instrument. The printer is now ready for operation!
• Print out the weight value of the balance
If no printout appears: Set both devices to the factory setting! (The interface parameters are then matched. Green pilot lamp flashes, see page 26; available functions, see page 30)

Changing paper and ribbon
Changing paper
• Insertion of a new roll of paper is described on page 5, commercially available, normal paper is used. Order number, see page 28.
Changing ribbon
Order number, see page 28.
• 1 Pull paper out of printing unit
• 2...4 Remove ribbon cover
• 5 Remove ribbon cartridge
• Insert new ribbon (if need be, take up slack with tensioning wheel) and refit ribbon cover
• Insert paper and feed through slit in the printing unit as far as it will go
• Press and hold until sufficient paper has been fed in
6.2
Maintenance, Service and Cleaning
Under normal ambient conditions, the LC-P45 Printer requires practically no maintenance thanks to its rugged construction. The METTLER TOLEDO service department is available should servicing be required. Please ask your responsible METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details.
Cleaning
As the printer housing is made of top grade, resistant materials, all commercially available cleaning agents may be used.

7. Malfunctions
7.1
Interpreting the error messages
Malfunction/Message Possible cause
Printout unreadable • Ribbon worn/entangled
• Service life of printing unit at an end
Green pilot lamp does not light up • No power, fuse defective
Green pilot lamp flashes slowly
Green pilot lamp flashes rapidly
---- Interruption ----
- Transmission error -
------- ABORT --------
• Balance waiting for stability/ cable not attached
• Transmission error
• Connection cable not attached or older balance (unidir. interface)
• Interface parameters of LC-P45 and balance do not match
• Calibration has been aborted
Rectification
• Change/tension ribbon
• Replace printing unit
• Switch on power switch, have fuse replaced by
METTLER TOLEDO
• Check handshake, initiate print command with PRINT key of balance
• Set interface parameters
• Repeat calibration
------ Timeout -------
- Battery discharged -
------ Overflow ------
---- Input error -----
----- Unit error -----
ES
EL
• Entry incomplete, menu not ended, balance has not sent any weight value in last 30 s
• Pause before completion of function must not be longer than 30 s, move balance to more stable location
• Batteries for clock and settings discharged
• Number of samples for multiplication exceeded
• Replace batteries; message repeated approx. every 2 hours
• Range of values exceeded • Repeat entry
• Different units in totalization, statistics or multiplication
• Syntax error (error message of balance), balance does not understand LC-P45 instruction
• Logistical error (error message of balance), balance can not execute LC-P45 instruction
27
• Switch on LC-P45
+
• Switch off LC-P45
28
7.2
Printer test
The LC-P45 is provided with a self-test which automatically prints out its character set. This allows easier recognition of a possible malfunction of the printing unit.
• Switch on LC-P45 and at the same time press and hold the feed key for a few seconds
• Terminate the printout by switching off the LC-P45

I/O interfaces
The LC-P45 has a LocalCAN and an RS-232-C interface for the attachment of METTLER
TOLEDO instruments and peripherals.
One or other can be used, but if both are connected only the LocalCAN is active.
LocalCAN interface
• Bus interface with 2 4-pin looped sockets for the attachment of balances/scales/ instruments and peripherals.
• No transmission parameters need be adapted.
RS-232-C interface
• 9-pin male connector (pin assignment as IBM laptop)
• Matching to other device (transmission parameters) in the menu; see page 11
• The handshake lines are active when "hardware" has been selected in menu item HAND-
SHAKE
• The standard cable 229029 has no handshake lines
LC-P45
Connection example
A scale and a PC are attached to the LC-P45 via the LocalCAN bus.

General remarks
1
• With or
F
only stable weight values can be printed out; to print out unstable values, set the balance to "send all" and give the print command with its
PRINT key.
• Do not set the balance to "send all" for statistics, totalization and multiplication.
• If the PRINT key of the balance is pressed, the weight will be printed out without record header.
