INSTALLATION AND SETUP
MONOCHROME PRINTERS
You can connect a monochrome
graphics printer
that
has
a
Centronics-style
printer
interface and supports Epson FX-80 graphics
protocol
,
or a monochrome text
printer with a Centronics-style
printer
interface.
The manual accompanying the
printer should tell you its type of interface and graphics protocol.
1.
Plug the printer cable
into
the COPIER port
.
2.
Tell the terminal which printer
is
connected to the terminal
:
•
If you are using a Tektronix 4644 Dot Matrix Printer or another printer with
Epson FX-80 graphics protocol,
enter:
HCINTERFACE
3
•
If you are using a Hewlett-Packard ThinkJet printer,
enter:
HCINTERFACE 4
•
If you are using a printer without graphics
capability,
enter:
HCINTERFACE 0
3.
Make sure the terminal sends the proper line endings for your
printer.
Find out
what the printer expects by either checking the manual for your printer
or,
if
the printer has a line-ending switch
,
checking the printer's switch setting
.
Match what the terminal sends to what the printer expects - you can either
change the printer's switch
(if it's
got one) or change what the terminal sends.
•
To cause the terminal to send a Carriage Return/Line Feed combination
(CAL•)
at the end of each line
(this
is the default and
is
appropriate
in
most
cases)
, enter:
HCMONOCHROME
1
If the printer expects Line Feeds and the terminal doesn
't
send
any,
all your
lines of text or graphics will print on the same line - resulting in one
unreadable black
line.
•
To cause
the
terminal to send just a Carriage Return at the end of each
line,
enter:
HCMONOCHROME
0
If the printer expects only Carriage Returns and the terminal sends Line
Feeds also
,
the copies you make will have an extra blank line following
each
line
of characters
(that is
,
single-spaced text will be double-spaced
,
and graphics will have
an
extra blank line after each printed
line).
4.
Save the setting
in
nonvolatile memory by entering
:
NVSAVE
A-14
4106/4 107/4109 OPERATORS
