Bank 1 (For Serial Interface Printers Only)
The S-Series Printer, with the
RS-232 Serial Interface, uses
eight miniature switches located
on the rear of the printer, above
the Signal Interface Cable Con-
nector. The ON/OFF positions
of these switches establish some
of the Printer Configuration Pa-
rameters. Bank 1 switches must
be properly positioned to estab-
lish serial data communications
with the host computer. There-
after, the position of these
switches should not be changed.
Note: Parallel-interface
printers do not require
these configuration
parameters, therefore
they have no Bank 1
switches.
If these switches are in the
proper position to match the
communication configuration of
the host computer, and the
printer is not receiving data, re-
fer to “Interconnections” and
make sure the correct interface
cable is being used.
Note: The printer is fixed at 1
stop bit, so make sure
that your host device is
also set at 1 stop bit.
