Verifying the Printer Setup
Before you install a POSjet
®
1500 Printer into your system, you should verify that the printer is configured as
required by your system. There are four parts to this verification process.
1.
Verify that the communications interface card is the correct one.
2.
Verify that the cash drawer interface is configured correctly
3.
Verify that the power connection is correct.
4.
Verify that the firmware in the printer is configured correctly.
Verify the communications interface card
There are three basic types of interface cards and each has variations. Make sure your printer has the correct
interface card.
Parallel Interface
•
Centronics 36-pin interface
•
25-pin D shell
Serial Interface
•
9-pin D shell interface
•
25-pin D shell interface
USB Interface
•
Standard 4-pin
The POSjet
®
1500 Printer can be installed to use either a 25-pin Serial and 25-pin Parallel interface card. To
determine what interface is installed refer to the configuration receipt shipped with the printer, or enter configuration
mode and look at the verification print out. If a serial interface card is installed, the print out will refer to the RS-
232 serial interface. If the parallel interface card is installed, the print out will refer to the Parallel interface.
Changing Interface Cards
The interface card on the POSjet
®
1500 Printer can be changed in the field.
In most cases, interface cards are interchangeable without altering the printer firmware. However, you may have to
load new firmware and/or boot loader before you change the interface cards. Check with Technical Support for
firmware compatibility between interface cards before ordering.
Removing the Old Interface Card
1.
Turn over the printer. Take care not to allow the cover to open or the paper to fall.
2.
Disconnect the current communications and cash drawer cables.
3.
If equipped, unsnap the power supply retainer and slide out the power supply.
4.
Disconnect the power supply from the interface card.
5.
Remove the interface retaining screw.
6.
Slide the interface card sideways-towards the power supply pocket-and remove it.
MAKE SURE the cash drawer is configured correctly. (See the next page)
