Setting up a Printer

C o n f i g u r i n g a s e r i a l p r i n t e r
A portable printer connected to a Datatron III can print out history meters and PIN account
information. Follow the instructions below to connect the printer to the Datatron III and
troubleshoot the printer interface.

Installation

Connect the serial printer to the RJ-12 port on the back of the Datatron III controller, using the
cable furnished with your printer. (Using a cable other than the one supplied with the printer
usually will not work, and may cause damage.) Connect the DB-25 connector to the back of the
printer.
Use only the power adapter supplied with your printer. (Other power adapters may be the wrong
voltage or polarity, and can cause damage to your printer.)
Make sure the power adapter is plugged into an AC outlet with good power.
Make sure the other end of the DC cable is correctly plugged into the printer.
The power adapter has a Green LED on it, which will light up if it is working. If the Green LED
does not light up, either the AC power is not working, or the power adapter is damaged. If those
two items are OK, the Red LED labeled 'P' on the top of the printer should light up indicating the
printer is receiving power.
If the Green SEL light is not ON, press the SEL pushbutton on the top of the printer. Normally it
comes up in Select mode, ready to operate.
To print from the Datatron III, insert your Control Card into the Datatron III. Then, enter
parameter "9" as shown in the table below, and follow the instructions to print.
