Avery ZP212 Series

Configuring Avery ZP212 Series Scales

Connection

The Avery ZP212 series scale can be used with enVision devices but only with an external Serial -> USB Adapter which must be purchased separately. Example adapters that have been tested to work are:

  • Prolific PL2303
  • ADVANTECH BB-232USB9M

Using a supported adapter, plug the serial end into the DB-9 port on the scale and the USB end into the enVision device.

Scale Configuration

The DIP switch panel on back the scale serves as the mechanism to control its behaviour. It must be set exactly as pictured below.
