Installing an Interface Expansion Board
Connecting to the Serial Port
Connecting to the serial port involves the following tasks:
• Connect the interface cable to the printer and your computer.
• Print out the status report to check the serial parameter default
settings.
Connecting the Serial Interface Cable
To connect to the serial interface port, you need a cable correctly
wired for this printer and your computer. The cable must also have
the proper connectors. Your dealer or technical support person can
supply you with the proper cable.
The serial interface of this printer requires a null-modem cable with a
male DB25 connector at the printer side. Refer to your computer
documentation for the type of connector required by its serial port.
Notice:
Be sure that the printer is turned off before connecting the interface
cable.
Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic
damage to the printer.
To make the connection,
plug the cable connector
into the serial interface port
at the back right of the
printer. Secure the
connector by tightening the
screws in the connector
hood. Plug the other
connector into your
computer’s serial port.
Consult your computer
documentation if you need
help.
