3.1 The Printer Used With a LINK CRT

A number of steps are required before you can begin to format and
print labels with the Printer. These steps are explained in the
following pages.

1. Connect Cables

Verify that the LINK CRT and the Printer’s main Power
Switches are ‘off’. Connect the LINK CRT terminal to the
Printer with the supplied cable. Plug in the supplied power
cords for the Printer and the LINK CRT terminal.

Note: The Printer connects to the LINK MAIN port, not the

LINK parallel port.

2. Check LINK CRT Settings

The LINK CRT is shipped ready for use with the Printer and the
settings are pre-set and should be changed only when necessary.
If the terminal's settings have been changed since shipment from
the factory, follow the terminal's set-up procedure to reset all
default settings,(see Table 3-1). The Printer will set all remaining
parameters; however, these settings are not saved in the CRT's
RAM. To save them, follow the CRT's "save changes" routine
after normal operation is established.
