2.5.3 Connecting a printer
Printers with the following printer drivers can be connected:
IBM
IBM Proprinter and printers with IBM emulation
Epson
Epson printers and printers with Epson emulation
Seiko
Seiko printer DPU-411 or DPU-414
Citizen
Citizen printer IDP560 RS
HP
HP printers and printers with HP PCL3 emulation
If you wish to connect a different printer then ensure that this can emulate
one of the printer modes supported by the 711 Liquino.
Most printers with a serial interface are connected with cable 6.2134.050.
Printers with a parallel interface require a serial/parallel converter (e.g.
2.145.0300) and cable 6.2125.020 + adapter cable 6.2125.010.
The Liquino must be switched off before a printer is connected to the RS232
interface!
The interface parameters are entered in the configuration menu under
‘>RS232 settings’. The printer type must also be entered in the configura-
tion menu under ‘>Peripheral units’ and ‘send to:’
If you use an A4 printer and the graphics do not cover the whole width of the
page then you can proceed as follows:
When the instrument is switched on keep the <CONFIG> key pressed
down. In this way you access the setup menu. Press the <> key and
<ENTER>. You can now alter the relative width and height of the graphics.
In each case press <ENTER> after the entry.
The following table provides information about the connection of several se-
lected printers.
