Connecting to the Serial Port
Connecting to the serial port involves the following tasks:
• Connect the interface cable to the printer and your computer.
• Print out the status report to check the serial parameter settings.
Connecting the Serial Interface Cable
To connect to the serial interface port, you need a cable correctly
wired for this printer and your computer. The cable must also have
the proper connectors. Your dealer or technical support person can
supply you with the proper cable.
The serial interface of this printer requires a null-modem cable with a
male D-SUB 9-pin connector at the printer side. Refer to your
computer documentation for the type of connector required by its
serial port.
Caution:
Be sure that both printer and computer are turned off before
connecting the interface cable.
Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic
damage to the printer.
