Connecting the Printer
Figure 13 — Printer connector.
You can print images from your DVR on PostScript™ printers. The DVR supports PostScript™
2.0 and higher. If you have a color PostScript™ printer, you can print color images. Place the
printer on a sturdy surface near enough to the DVR so that you will be able to make the cable
connections. Connect the DB-25P end of the cable to the DB-25S Printer connector on the back
of the DVR. Connect the other end of the cable to the printer. See
Chapter 4 — Operation
for
information on printing images.
NOTE: Only PostScript™ printers will work with the DVR.
NOTE: The DVR is not supplied with a printer cable, and many printers are not supplied
with cables. Make certain you have the correct cable when purchasing the printer.

DVR. See

for configuring the modem.
NOTE: The DVR is not supplied with a modem cable, and many modems are not supplied
with cables. Make certain you have the correct cable when purchasing the modem.
