Connections
This section introduces the connections of the UP-D70A. For the connection of the
UP-D70, see the instruction manual supplied with the TMax P891 Color
Connectivity Controller.
For details, contact your Sony dealer.
Connecting the Computer
The UP-D70A connects to either of the computer Windows or Macintosh via the
parallel interface. The UP-D70A can also connect to the Macintosh computer via
the SCSI interface.
Notes
• Be sure to connect one printer to one computer. Do not connect two computers to
the printer.
• Do not connect the computer equipped with the SCSI interface and parallel
interface to both of the PARALLEL DATA IN connecter and SCSI connecter of
the printer at the same time.
• Before connecting the cable, make sure to turn off the power switches on your
computer and any peripheral equipment.
• Grasp the connector at the end of the cable, and firmly insert it into the socket.
• The total length of the SCSI cabling used with a single-host computer should be
less than 6 meters.
• The parallel data cable should be less than 3 meters long and should conform to
Centronics specifications for printer cables.
• Avoid sending parallel data to the printer while the printer is processing SCSI
commands, and vice versa.
• Cable connection requirements vary depending on computers and peripherals.
For the details of your installation, please refer to the manuals for your computer
and peripherals.

When connecting a printer via the SCSI interface
Note
If the printer is connected at the physical end of the SCSI bus, set the built-in
terminator to ON. (See page 12.)
Installing the Printer Driver Program
The printer driver program should be installed before starting operation.
The instruction manual for the printer driver is stored on the supplied CD-ROM.
For details, read the ReadMe file on the CD-ROM.
Setting the DIP Switch
The DIP switches on the rear panel of the UP-D70A determine the on/off state of
the internal SCSI bus terminator and the SCSI device ID number.
As shipped from the factory, the DIP switches are set up as follows:
Terminator ON/OFF setting
If printer is located at the physical end of the SCSI bus, this switch should be set to
ON. Otherwise, if another device is at the end of the bus, this switch should be
OFF.
