You can also connect your printer to the PG 720 using a serial COM port. You
will find information on how to adapt and set your interface and which
connecting cable you require in the description of your printer.
You connect external multisynchronous monitors using the standard VGA
connector on the left-hand panel side of the unit. We recommend that you use
a Siemens monitor.
You must switch the PG 720 off before connecting the monitor cable. You
will find further information about the connector pinout in Chapter 8.
