External Connections

The following external connections are located on the rear of the QBC STAR instrument, and are shown
in Figure 4:
• AC power input
• Serial Port for connecting the instrument to a Laboratory Information System (LIS) or PC
• Barcode Scanner Port for connecting a barcode scanner
• Parallel Port for connecting a full-size printer
• Keyboard Port for connecting a full-size keyboard

Connecting an External Printer

You can attach a full-size external printer to the QBC STAR instrument to print results on standard letter
or A4 size paper. You may print either in black-and-white or color. If you enable color printing, errors and
out-of-range parameters are printed in red ink.
You can also leave the internal instrument printer enabled even if you attach an external printer. If you do,
results print on the internal printer fi rst. Press the "Star" button to reprint results on the external printer.
For information on what makes and models of printers can be used, contact QBC Diagnostics Technical
Services.
