If you elect to connect an optional printer to your 2720 Thermal Cycler, you can print
out a hard copy of the time and temperature parameters for PCR methods you create.
You can connect the 2720 Thermal Cycler to any printer with a serial (RS-232C)
interface board and the following specifications:
Baud Rate 9600
Parity NONE
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Connect one end of your Applied Biosystems (N805-1326) printer cable to the RS-485
serial port on the side panel of the 2720 Thermal Cycler and connect the other end to
the serial adapter card port on the rear panel of the printer.
See your printer manual for instructions on how to connect the printer cable to your
printer and complete any other necessary installation steps.
After you have connected the printer cable and installed the printer, you must
configure the instrument for the printer. See "Configuring the Instrument" on page 5-2.
