Printer
Introduction
Any Microsoft Windows ® compatible printer may be connected
to the EQ60 Processor Unit. The connection is made with a
standard Centronics type parallel cable.
Hardware installation
Refer to the applicable printer documentation for hardware
installation. Make sure that the printer is securely mounted to
withstand the shock, vibrations and movements experienced on
a ship.
Software installation
In order to use the printer, you must install the necessary
driver(s) and set up the EQ60 Processor Unit so that the
presence of the printer is known. To do this, you will need to
use the standard Microsoft Windows
® tools on the computer.
In this procedure, a Hewlett Packard 970C colour printer is used
as an example.
Note
You need to access the underlying operating system directly to
perform this maintenance task. Take care when proceeding. With
full access you can severely damage the operating system if you
are not careful.
