Serial interface
If you have a printer (or another peripheral such as a modem) with a
serial interface, connect it to the serial (RS-232C) port at the back of the
main unit. The Equity II-+ uses a DB-9P connector, so be sure you have an
AT-compatible cable (or an adapting cable that converts the 9-pin output to
the standard 25-pin output). To connect a serial device, follow the same steps
above for connecting a parallel device.
You need to ensure the serial port is set up so it functions properly. If you
are using the port for a serial printer, you must also redirect printer output to
the serial instead of the parallel port. Use the MS-DOS SETMODE program
(or the MODE command) to make these changes. See your MS-DOS man-
ual for instructions,
