Establishing Communications
Before the printer can accept print jobs from the host, you must:
♦ Connect the communication cable to the printer and to the host.
♦ Set the communication values on the printer to match those at the host. (Only required if
you are using the serial port.)
Connecting the Communication Cable
Make sure the printer is off before connecting the cable to the communication port. Your
printer is supplied with a parallel printer cable. You may optionally connect your printer to a
serial port. To do this, you must purchase a serial interface cable compatible with your
computer.
♦ Serial Communication
9 to 25 pin cable
25 to 25 pin cable
♦ Parallel Communication
IEEE-1284 or Centronics mode cable
See Chapter 4, "Communication Values," for more information.
Connect the communications cable to the appropriate port on
your computer. If you are unsure where to connect the cable,
consult your computer documentation.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you use the cable
supplied with your printer. Paxar cannot be
responsible for communications problems when a non-Paxar
cable is used.
Connect the other end of the communication cable into the appropriate
port on the printer. Secure the cable with the connecting screws (serial) or
spring clips (parallel).
The printer also has a USB (Universal Serial Bus) Version 1.1
communication port. Drivers are available on our Web site for a variety of
operating systems.
