Installing a SureMark printer
This section describes SureMark printer installation.
Installing for EIA-232/RS-485 communication
1. Power the system off and disconnect the EIA-232 power supply.
2. Locate the rear cable connectors.
3. If you are using the EIA-232 communication port:
a. For all models except TI8, TG8, TI9, TG9, check the settings on the
EIA-232 mode switch, which is near the rear cable connections. See
Figure 5 for thermal/impact printers. See Figure 6 on page 19 and Figure 7
on page 19 for single-station printers.
Notes:
1) If the EIA-232 communication cable has only 3 wires or if the system
output is 3 pins (2 signals and a ground), you must use XON/XOFF
mode.
2) Models TI8, TG8, TI9, TG9 do not have a mode switch for EIA-232
settings. See “EIA-232 communication mode selections (Models TI8,
TI9, TG8, TG9)” on page 30.
b. Connect the power supply to the printer.
