Connect with iPad, tablet or laptop/PC via internal Bluetooth transmitter:
The internal Bluetooth transmitter of the MC-580 sends output to iPad, Android tablet, or Windows PC. This allows the MC-580 to be used wirelessly with the TANITA App Universe for iOS or Android, and the TANITA PRO Software for Windows.
Read here how to connect the MC-580 with TANITA PRO Software via Bluetooth.
To connect the MC-580 with the TANITA App Universe on iPad or tablet, follow the pairing instructions in your App Universe account.
Connect with laptop/PC via FTDI RS-232 cable:
With a RS-232 <> USB cable, the MC-580 can be connected to the computer / laptop.
The cable needs to be a RS-232 <> USB cable with FTDI chip. With any other kind of chip (like PL2303), the connection will not work.
TANITA PRO software allows the laptop or PC to receive the measurement data from the MC-580.
Connect with OP-203 thermal printer:
When connected to the OP-203 thermal printer, the measurement results will be printed on thermal paper receipts immediately after the measurement.
