Connection - IBM 6400 Operation Manual

Connection

Before powering on your parallel host
system, the printer cable from the system
must be plugged into the PC parallel
connector on the printer.
Select a time out configuration (either short
or long) to match your system's needs.
1) The printer will feed a blank page when
data host inputs are switched.
2) When switching host inputs, the printer
configuration is not preserved by the
printer's memory. Should any of your
PC or network jobs change the printer
configuration, it may be necessary for
you to reset the printer configuration.
