Network Printer
Unpack the printer and place it on the printer cabinet (a separate piece of
furniture). Follow the instructions in the manufacturer's user manuals and install
the printer as a parallel device, using the parallel interface cable to connect the
printer to the network server or to a port located on the back of the scanner.
For cabling instructions, do the following (See Figure 3-5):
1.
Attach the power cord.
•
Plug the female end into the back of the printer.
•
Plug the male end into the power strip.
2.
Attach the parallel interface cable.
•
Plug the male end of the parallel interface cable into the port on the back
of the printer.
•
Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the back of the
network server or to a port labeled
LINE PRINTER
located at the bottom
of the scanner's rear panel.
Bar Code Reader
The optional Bar Code Reader is usually installed at Pearson NCS Manufacturing.
It can also be installed in the field by a Pearson NCS technician. In both cases, the
following cable connections must be performed as part of the initial installation.
There are two cables:
•
25-pin flat cable (I/O cable)
•
25-pin D-SUB to 9-pin D-SUB cable (Bar Code to PC cable)
The 25-pin flat cable has been pre-installed at Pearson NCS Manufacturing. You
need to locate the 9-pin D-SUB end of the Bar Code to PC cable and plug it into
the
Com2
serial port on the back of the computer.
1.
Ensure that the female end of the 25-pin flat cable is securely connected to the
BCD board.
2.
Ensure that the other end (also female) is securely connected to the 25-pin
D-SUB end of the Bar Code to PC cable.
3.
Plug the 9-pin D-SUB end of the Bar Code to PC cable into the Com2 port on
the back of the computer.
