USING NON-XEROX PRINTERS ON THE 820-ll
The 820-11 software is designed to work with either the 25 or 40 character per
second printer.
If you want to use another type of printer, you can do so by
changing the software. The change you make in the software will tell the 820-11 in
what format to "talk" to your printer.
Before you make the changes to your Word Processing disk, make sure you've made
a back up copy of the disk. (Complete instructions are given in the Handbook.)
Then, if you make a mistake in changing the software, you still have your original
disk and can start over.
Changing the software is a two-step process.
First, follow the instructions for
running the CONFIGUR program on page 3-12. Then, follow the instructions for
running the INSTALL program on page 13-10.
After you've changed the software, you can connect the printer to the 820-11.
•
If
you have a serial printer, connect the printer cable to the "PRINTER" port
(outlet) on the back of the 820-11 screen.
The cable used to connect the
printer is a standard RS232 cable, available for purchase from Xerox. Both
ends of the cable are the same, so either end can be connected to the screen.
•
If
you have a parallel printer, you'll need to connect the printer cable to the
parallel port (outlet) inside the 820-11 screen unit. A parallel cable may be
purchased from Xerox. Directions for opening the screen unit and connecting
the cable are at the back of the System Components chapter.
