Connecting the printer via a cable or radio
The OC-3 printer is designed to transmit and receive data from
a host terminal. The host terminal may be your computer,
handheld, or laptop. Communication can occur using one of the
following methods:
•
Using a data cable to connect the printer and the host
terminal ("Installing a data cable" on page 10), or
• Enabling wireless communication (see "Bluetooth and/or
802.11b parameters" on page 11).
Installing a data cable
1. Verify the printer settings before connecting the printer to a
host terminal. For more information, see "Printing a self-
test" on page 10.
2. Insert the data cable plug into the printer's data port (Figure
25).
3. Connect the data cable to the host or device you are using.
Removing a data cable
1. Rotate the printer so that the printer's data port is visible.
2. Lift the cable connector's lever and remove the cable.
