2.4 Printer Connections

To print Reports, the Time Q must be connected to an 80 column
printer. Most printers use a parallel connection.

Parallel Printer Connection:

The parallel port is typically used for
connection to a parallel printer. Aparallel
interface cable is shown above. Since this
is the same cable that is used to connect an IBM-PC or PC
compatible computer to a printer, it can be bought at most computer
dealers off-the-shelf. Simply connect the 25-pin connector end of the
printer cable into the side port of the Time Q Terminal. The other end
of the cable, the 36-pin Centronics-type connector, is plugged into the
printer (shown below.)

Serial Printer Connection:

The serial cable is unique due to the
phone jack interface. Contact Acroprint
to order this cable. Once the correct
cable is obtained, connect the cable into
the RS-232 port. Follow the
procedure for
removing the
access door.

NOTE: If a serial printer is used, the printer port must first be set up.
See 6.4 Set up #14 (Functions, page 28.)
