Connecting the Communication Cable
Make sure the printer is off before connecting
the cable to the communication port.
Ask your System Administrator which method you will use to
communicate with the host:
◆
Serial Communication
9 to 25 pin cable (Part #118364)
25 to 25 pin cable (Part #118366)
◆
Parallel Communication
IEEE-1284 or Centronics® mode cable (Part #118363) See
"Setting DIP Switches" for more information.
Connect the communication cable into the appropriate port.
Secure the cable with the connecting screws (serial) or spring
clips (parallel).
Default Serial Port Communication Values
If you are communicating with the host through the serial port,
make sure the printer’s communication values match those at the
host. The factory default values are:
◆
Baud: 9600
◆
Word Length: 8 bit data frame
◆
Stop Bits: 1 stop bit
◆
Parity: none

To change the printer’s communication values, ask your System
