STEP 5 – No Printer Option 19
STEP 5 – No Printer Option
If you did not opt to install a printer (did not complete E, F, G, or H), you must set
the Printer portion of the Host/Printer selection in the Quick (F1) Setup menu to
“None.” Choose the combination of Host/Printer that properly represents which
terminal port you are connecting the host to, and “None” as the printer. For example,
if the EIA port is connected to the host or modem, the setting would be “EIA/None.”
If you are running in dual session mode, press Ctrl-Enter (num). Now, set the Printer
portion of Host/Printer to “None” in Session 2, preserving the current Host setting.
STEP 6 – Know Your Serial Port(s) Protocol
Consult your system administrator to find out the communication settings on all the
serial devices you are connected to, including EIA (or Aux) baud, data bits, stop bits,
parity, parity checking on/off, and transmit and receive flow control protocol. This
could include one or two hosts/modems, or a serial printer. Record this information
in the User Settings Chart later in this chapter for reference in Step 7.
STEP 7 – Communications Setup Selections
To complete this step, you must recall the letters next to the connections that you
made in Step 2. Also, you must be aware of the port/session designations made in
Step 4 (see the Host/Printer Connection diagrams later in this chapter).
The procedures below correspond directly to the individual connections made.
Notice that only certain connection procedures are to be followed, not all of them.
For example, if you have made connections “C” and “F” to a modem and a serial
printer, then follow connection procedures “C” and “F” below.
Only follow those steps that apply to your connections (A-H).
To access the Setup menu, press
Ctrl-Scroll Lock
on a PC keyboard or F3 on an
ANSI keyboard.
