position.
After diali~g the telephone
number of the remote printer, a
steady hi]h pitched tone should
De
heard when tne connection has
been
made
at the other end. iJhen
this occurs, cradle your
telephone handset on the
acoustic coupler securing the
handset
Itvi
th the hold :Jown
devi.ce on the coupler.
b. Data Set. When using
a
Data Set
the
TALK
pushbutton must be
pressed, and a didl tone heard
before dialing the remote
printer. Once connection has
been maJe at the other enJ, a
steady niJt1 pitched tone will be
heard in your telephone
receiver. When this haopens,
press the
DATA
pushbutton and
hang
up
the handset.
c. OAA with internal moJem. If your
Printer has this equipment, your
telephone will look liKe an
ordinary telephone except one of
the plungers in the handset
cradle will be a
DATA
button.
Since this type of interfacing
equipment is pri~arily for use
in talking to a computer, your
Printer is permanently connected
in the originate ~ode.
Therefore, before communication
can
be
accomplished witn
a
remote printer, it must have
interfacing equipment whiCh is
connectej in the answer mode.
The calling procedure is to dial
tne remote printer, pull up the
DATA button when the high
pitched tone is heard, and then
lay down the telephone handset
on the desk top until you have
finished talking to the remote
orinter. Do not hang up the
handset before communications
are complete since this
disconnects the telephone line.
Regardless of which type of
interfacing equipment you may nave,
you will know you are connected to
the other printer when the READY
indicator light on your Printer is
on. When the READY lignt goes out,
you have been disconnected from the
remote printer.
