Before the printer can accept print jobs from the host, you must:
♦ Connect the communication cable to the printer and to the host.
♦ Set the communication values on the printer to match those at the host.
(Only required if you are using the serial port.)
♦ Make sure the printer is off before connecting the cable to the
communication port.
Ask your System Administrator which
method to use to communicate with the host:
Serial Communication
9 to 25-pin cable
(Part #119806)
25 to 25-pin cable
(Part #126826)
Parallel Communication
IEEE-1284 or
Centronics® mode cable (Part #126805)
Connecting the Communication Ca ble
Connect the communication cable into the
appropriate port. Secure the cable with the connecting screws (serial) or
spring clips (parallel).
If you are communicating with the host through the serial port, make sure the
printer's communication values match those at the host. The factory default
values are 9600 Baud, 8 bit data frame, 1 stop bit, no parity, and DTR flow
control.
The printer also has a USB (Universal Serial Bus) Version 1.1
communication port. Drivers are available on our W eb site for a variety of
operating systems.
Note: The printer supports a baud rate up to 115200. Make sure your host
is capable of communicating at the speed you select for the printer.
