Connecting a Computer or
Printer to the Terminal

Most of the PanelView terminals have an RS-232 serial port to:

download/upload applications over a serial link.

connect a printer that supports the IBM enhanced character set.

PanelView terminals that don’t have an additional RS-232 Printer Port
include the 300 Micro, the 300 (except for DeviceNet), and the -xxA2/
-xxA5 versions of the 550/600 and 900 monochrome terminals.

The illustration below shows how to make these connections.

Communication parameters for the RS-232 port are set on the Printer
Setup screen of the Configuration Mode menu.
