The PrinterModuleType defines the structure of an Object of the PrinterModuleType. Figure 14 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 14.

An Object of the PrinterModuleType represents a printing device. A printing device is a subdevice of a scale that prints labels or other documents related to the scale or to the measurement results. The variables of the module are only readable. So, the primary use case of the module is to monitor the label and print media status.
