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.
