Programming a Dual RS-232 Card
Overview
The Dual RS-232 card allows one or two printers to be attached to the Z-28 panel.
Programming a dual RS-232 card involves setting the communication parameters and selecting
which events are annunciated to the printer(s).
Step 1. Open the RS-232
Card Screen
Double click on the icon that represents the RS-232 card. (If the card is not already in the
Active Cards List, you first need to drag it from the Available Cards list into the Active Cards
List.) A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 6-18 appears.
