Serial Port
Connect to the serial port with a null modem cable. The serial port provides a
male DB9 connector and allows user to:
• Print to a serial printer or plotter.
• Monitor the printer server by connecting an ANSII compatible terminal or
a PC running an ANSII terminal emulation program.
The Emulex default port configuration is set for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, DTE type, with softcopy emulation.
• Input print jobs directly by connecting to a host system serial port (e.g. an
HP 3000).
