Step Five - Installing a Local Printer is a convenient way to print alarm report
and enable continuous data logging. Keep in mind, the Series 1000 supports a serial
printer interface as described in Chapter 1, Description. Follow the instructions to
connect and configure a local printer.
1. Connect a DTE-to-DCE (Straight) RS232C cable with a 9 pin female D-SUB
connector on one end to the dialer’s PRINTER port.
2. Connect the other end (25 pin female D-SUB) to the serial interface port of your
printer.
NOTE: The printer port on the Series 1000 is used to support advanced features such as
a local computer interface (See Chapter 4, Advanced Topics for more
information). To configure the port for printing only, continue with these
instructions.
3. Plug a touch-tone telephone into the dialer’s PHONE jack.
4. Pick up the telephone handset and press the ‘#’ key.
5. Listen for the dialer to speak, “System ready”.
6. Enter **052 on the telephone’s keypad.
7. Listen for dialer’s response, “Printing Enabled”.
8. Turn the Printer power OFF, then ON again to reset it.
Refer to Chapter 3, Operations, for information on how to print reports and enable
continuous event logging.
