Futrex 5500A/WL manual

To Obtain a Fitness Analysis Printout using the optional Epson Printer Kit

The FUTREX-5500A/WL can print the Fitness Analysis Report directly to an external printer without need for any external computer. The following is required if you desire to use this feature:

•Plain white tractor feed paper.

•Printer - Epson Model LX-300 +.

•RS-232 Printer Serial Cable - To communicate from the FUTREX-5500A/ZL to the Epson Printer.

This printing function is performed as follows: (NOTE: F4 must have been set to “1”; see page 27).

1.) Turn on both the printer and FUTREX-5500A/WL. Wait for countdown to finish or press CLEAR. The RS-232 serial cable must be attached between the units.

2.) Press SELECT PROGRAMS, then COLOR PRINTER. The FUTREX-5500A/ZL internal printer will display:

“Use Previous Data; 1 = YES, 2 = NO”. If you type in “NO” (i.e. “2”), follow the Fitness Analysis Procedure described on page 18 starting with Step 5.

3.) If “YES” (i.e. “1”) was typed in, the FUTREX-5500A/WL will use the data from the last person that was measured and the instrument’s printer will ask:

•Enter “Body Frame” by pressing SMALL, MEDIUM or LARGE. Refer to page 8 to determine size.

•“Enter Activity Level” - This is the amount of daily physical activity the person does during normal work environment. It does not include any exercise program the person does. Enter either LIGHT (e.g. office work), MODERATE (e.g. someone delivering mail), or HEAVY (e.g. a ditch digger).

4.) The Epson Printer will then print the Fitness Analysis Report. CAUTION: Paper must be in printer.

NOTE: Printer must be set to 2400 baud rate. If a malfunction occurs (e.g. paper jam), you must turn off both the printer and the FUTREX-5500A/WL before restarting.
