The FUTREX-5000/XL can directly communicate with an external printer without need for any external computer using Futrex's
unique full color fitness forms. The following is required if you desire to use this feature:
! Preprinted Color Forms - This 4 page form provides extensive data for your clients.
! Printer - Epson Model LX-300
! RS-232 Printer Serial Cable - To communicate from the FUTREX-5000/XL to the Epson Printer.
This printing function is performed as follows: (NOTE: F4 must have been set to "0"; see page 25).
1) Turn on both the printer and FUTREX-5000/XL. 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-5000/XL 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 19 starting with Step 5.
3) If "YES" (i.e. "1") was typed in, the FUTREX-5000/XL's will use the data from the last person that was measured and the
instrument's printer will ask:
! "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) Enter "Body Frame" and "Activity Level" as
described in the Fitness Analysis procedure
(page 19, items 8 and 11).
