To cable Print Masters equipped with Option 19 together, connect
Port 10 of a 710 having a lower Unit ID Number to port 9 of a 710
having a higher Unit ID Number with a male-to-male crossed cable
(BayTech part number MM09XYYY, where YYY is the required
length). The required pinout is shown in
Figure 3
on page 18.

Cascaded units power up from the factory in contention mode, which
allows any of the computers connected to a particular unit to contend
for any of the printers connected to that same unit. These computers
will not contend for printers connected to other Print Master units
when in power-up contention mode.
Printer selection is accomplished by sending a printer select
sequence consisting of the Printer Select Code followed by a two-digit
number. This two digit number consists of the desired Unit ID
Number followed by the desired printer port number on that unit.
NOTE: $PRINTER
is the factory default Printer Select Code. Other
codes may be programmed, but all cascaded Print Master units must
be configured to have the same Printer Select Code.
EXAMPLE 1: If a computer connected to unit number 1 wishes to
print to a printer connected to port 5 of unit number 4, the computer
would send $PRINTER45.
EXAMPLE 2: If a computer connected to Unit number 2 wishes to
send data to any printer connected to Unit 3 (contention mode), the
computer would send $PRINTER30.
EXAMPLE 3: If a computer connected to Unit number 4 wishes to
output data to the printer connected to Port 1 of the same unit, the
computer would send $PRINTER41.
