Connecting the Printer or the PC

To establish a correct communication do the following:
1 Connect the SP1000 printer to the RS232 port using
the cable supplied with the printer. In idle mode and
in the print function the display shows the printer
icon when the printer is connected and is turned
on.
2 Connect the PC to the RS232 port using the cable
that is supplied with the Fluke Power PAT Plus
software. Refer to this software for more specific
information.
3 Ensure that the baud rate of the tester matches the
printer baud rate (9600) or the PC com port baud
rate. To set the tester baud rate see page 11.
The interface cable must be a null-modem cable
(direct link cable) with a gender changer, Fluke
P/N COM3.
