Individual ports on Print Master may be configured as computer or
printer via the Number of Printers/Port Assignment. Computers
connect to computer ports. Printers and plotters connect to printer
ports.
On all models, a minimum of one port must be assigned as a printer
port and a minimum of one port must be assigned as a computer port.
It is suggested that the highest numbered port, the master
configuration port, be assigned as a computer port to allow easy
access to all features of the configuration mode. The remaining ports
may be user-designated as computer ports or printer ports in any
combination except for the 700A and 700C models. Print Master
automatically converts data from serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-
serial.
On the 700A and 700C models, ports are assigned by defining the
Number of Printers. Printer ports are assigned to the lowest
numbered ports. For example, if the Number of Printers is 1, Port 1 is
the printer port and the remaining ports are computer ports. If the
Number of Printers is 3, Ports 1, 2, and 3 are printer ports and the
remaining ports are computer ports.
On 700D, 700E and 700F models with combination serial/parallel
ports, ports are defined by configuring the Port Assignment for
individual ports to computer or printer. Any serial or parallel port may
be assigned as a computer port or printer port.
NOTE: On Print Master models 710C, 710E and 710F, Port 10 may
not be assigned as a printer port.
The factory default printer port on all Print Master models is Port
1 and all other ports are assigned as computer ports.
