What You Need for a Serial Connection
Interface cables are not included with your printer. If you’re replacing
a printer, you may already have the necessary cables. If not, you’ll
need to purchase the cables from your QMS vendor or a local com-
puter store.
To connect your printer to a single PC, you need a serial cable with
either a 9- or 25-pin connector (depending on your PC’s serial port)
and a 9- or 25-pin null modem assembly to connect to the serial
cable. Depending on the type of null modem assembly you have, you
may also need a 9-to-25-pin adapter. See your cable vendor for more
specific cable assembly information.
How to Choose a Serial Cable
For best results, the serial cable should be less than 25 feet (7.6
meters long).
