4. Attach the parallel printer(s) cables.
Attach the parallel cable to the female DB25 parallel port
on the front of the FastPort. Connect the other end of the
cable to a standard, centronics port on the printer.
5. Attach the serial printer cables.
Attach a serial cable to the male DB9 printer port on the
front of the unit. The other end of the cable should be
connected to a female DB9 with the standard serial
interface pinout.
A null modem cable or adapter is necessary if the printer’s
serial port is a DTE device. If the cable will work for an
IBM PC attached to a printer, then it will work for FastPort.
Note:
See Appendix A for serial port pinouts.
6. Set the printer to the defaults for the serial port: 9600 baud,
8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and Xon/Xoff for flow
control.
7. Connect the power supply and verify normal boot-up:
a. Select the proper voltage for the specific country
b. Place the unit near the printer
c. Plug the power connector into the receptacle marked
16VAC
on the rear of the unit
