Step 6: Cabling, Power, and Serial Port Setup
Cabling
CAUTION: Power should be disconnected from the print head prior to connecting or dis-
connecting any external device, including: PC, controller, or print head daisy chain cables.
Electrical arcing may occur if external cabling is connected or disconnected while power is
supplied to the unit.
Print heads are controlled via a COM port from a PC or an Marksman HHI controller. One
com port can control up to eight SoloSeries45 print heads, four SoloSerie90 print heads, or
any combination of the two totalling eight print cartridges. Using the supplied serial cables,
connect the print heads daisy chain style by connecting the output port of one print head to
the input port of the next. Then connect the COM port of the PC or Marksman HHI to the
daisy chain. A PC connects to the first head in the daisy chain, while a Marksman HHI con-
nects to the last.
