Connecting The Printer To Your System; Connecting The Printer To A Pc - Intermec EasyCoder 4420 Getting Started Manual

Connecting the Printer to Your System

You can connect your printer to a PC, a local area network, an AS/400 (or other midrange system),
or a mainframe. Use this section to connect the printer to your system.

Connecting the Printer to a PC

You can connect your printer to either a serial port or a parallel port on your PC. You must pro-
vide the correct cables to connect the printer.
To connect the printer to your PC serial port, you need a shielded EIA RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485
electrical interface with a 25-pin D-style connector. To connect the printer to your parallel port, you
need an IEEE 1284 compatible parallel cable. You can purchase the parallel cable from Intermec
(Part No. 590124) or purchase a compatible cable from your local computer store.
Contact your Intermec representative for ordering assistance if you do not have the appropriate
cables.

Note: If you are connecting the printer to a serial port on your PC, you may need to change the serial port
configuration of your PC to match the printer. For help, see "Configuring the Serial Port for
Communications" later in this guide for the default printer configuration settings.
