Tera Term
Using Tera Term
When using these commands, there is a high risk of damage to the machine
because the printer does not recognize the location of any other components
in the machine that may be in the way. This means if you use the command
to move the Z-Stage, you will have to make sure that the Head is moved out
of the way. The same if you want to move the X-Y axis. The Z-Stage has to be
moved out of the way. The printer does see the EOT switches and the Home
Sensors.
Required Tools
• Tera Term software installed on workstation or lap top computer.
• Null modem cable (“Laplink”) with DB9 style connectors, pins 2 and
3 swapped .
