Power

1 Place the printer on a level surface, near an AC outlet. You should be
able to easily access the printer to load media and to remove the print-
out.
2 Check that the printer is switched off.
3 Connect the power cord from the socket on the rear plate to an elec-
trical outlet (90 to 265 VAC).

Computer

The Easycoder PM4i is fi tted with one 9-pin D-style subminiature
(DB9) socket for the RS-232 serial interface port (see Appendix C).
RS-232 Serial Interface
Before you can use the serial interface, you may need to set up the com-
munication parameters, such as baud rate, parity, etc. as described in
Chapter 6, "Setting Up the Printer."
USB Interface
The printer supports USB v1.1. There is no communication setup for
USB. For more information, refer to Appendix C.
Optional Interface and Network Boards
Several types are available (see Chapter 8, "Options"). Refer to Chapter
6, Chapter 7, and Appendix C for connection and setup instructions.
The printer scans all communication ports. When it detects incoming
data on a port, the printer automatically switches to use that port for
both input and output.
To get information in the display window on the active communication
channels, press the <i> key.
Switch off both PC and printer before connecting them together.
