Manual ( metergroup.com/food/downloads).
NOTE: The CP-103 printer is designed with +12-V power exposed on the seventh pin of the serial cable. The AQUALAB and USB adapters are not designed to receive the +12 V, therefore the seventh pin is removed from the METER USB-to-serial cable adapter. The USB adapter and the printer adapter for the AQUALAB are used to prevent damage to a computer, AQUALAB, printer, or any combination of these devices.
