Printer Setup
Users Manual Model 686 / 686 HT
Installing the PC Interface Cable
The 686 / 686 HT requires a 9-pin RS232 cable. This cable is provided with the
printer. If the cable was not found, it can be ordered from AVERY DENNISON
(Part number 351124).
The male end of the cable should be connected to the 9-pin D-shell female connector
that is located on the right side of the printer at the TCB (refer to the P.C. Board
Identification section in this manual). The female end of the cable is made to fit a 9-
pin male RS232 connector on the back of a PC. In case a 9 pin serial port is not
available - a 9 to 25-pin converter is also shipped with all printers.
Installing the PC Software
The software to drive the AVERY DENNISON family of printers is covered in
separate documentation. The "PcMate Platinum" software to create formats on site
for the AVERY DENNISON 686 / 686 HT printer is a Windows application. The
original "Selfform" will not create formats for the 686 / 686 HT. The new " PcMate
Platinum" package is capable of creating formats for all AVERY DENNISON
control printers.
PcMate Plus version 3.22 or above must be used to drive the 686 / 686 HT.
The printer is also capable of operating directly from a mainframe when using the
RS232 interface and AVERY DENNISON's PCL command language. (See AVERY
DENNISON PCL Command Language Manual)
