Data Cable
The data cable is connected between the controller PC and the printer.
The data cable can be any of the following types:
•
CENTRONICS (parallel) and RS 232 (serial)
•
K4K
Connect the RS 232 (serial) cable (0178552 or 0139601) to a COM port
on the PC. COM2 is the standard configuration, but another port can be
used. The correct COM port must be configured in Jetscape or CS150.
Connect the CENTRONICS (parallel) cable (0178550) to an LPT port on
the PC. The other end goes to the CENTRONICS connector on the
printer connector panel. LPT1 is the standard configuration, but another
port can be used. The correct LPT port must be configured in Jetscape or
CS150. The CS150 dongle is already connected to LPT1 on a CS150 or
dual controller (see the controller software Installation Guide).
Connect the K4K cable to an LPT port on the PC. The correct LPT port
must be configured in Jetscape or CS150.
For a multi-printer system, see the Multi-Printer Interface Installation
Instructions for a connection diagram.
