Alternate Host Verification
Test the alternate host by sending a Print Screen job (or device equivalent)
from the alternate host to the current printer attached to the ALLY PLUS.
Refer to the alternate host system documentation for instructions on sending
a Print Screen command.
If it does not print:
• Check that the alternate host is powered on and securely connected
to the ALLY PLUS with AGILE-approved cables or cable adapters.
• If using a serial cable, check the General Configuration Report, and
make sure that the Option Group #40 settings (Options 41-45 for
SERIAL 1, Options 47-4B for SERIAL 2) match the serial interface
settings for baud rate, parity, word length (data bits), stop bits and
handshaking. The default settings are 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity,
9600 baud and RTS/CTS flow control. Refer to Section 3 — Con-
figuration for detailed instructions on configuration, and change the
settings as needed.
