NOTE:
Be sure you mount the cable concentrator less than
7.6
meters (25
feet) from the system, to ensure the BC16D cable reaches the system.
7.2 Connecting Parallel Printers to the System
You can connect up to two parallel printers for each LPVll module installed'
in your system.
To connect parallel printers to the LPVll module:
1. Find a BC27L-30 cable.
2. Feed one end of that cable under the system from the back or side.
Then insert it into the connector labeled Jl on the module cover. Lock
the connector in place by using the bail latches.
3. Insert the other end of the cable into the printer.
Follow the same procedure for connecting a second printer to the LPVl1
module, except insert the cable into the connector labeled J2 on the module
cover.
