Xerox LS 3270

- 10 -

Printer Cable:

The 

Xerox LS 3270

 does not necessarily have to be plugged

directly into the Centronics Input Port of your printer. An extention
Centronics cable can be ordered for distance connection between
the 

Xerox LS 3270

 and your printer. This kit also contains a velcro

tape to enable mounting on the side of a printer.

Order no. 999 020 030

2.2.2 Installation Procedure

Below follows the procedure for installing the Xerox LS 3270:

1.

Make sure the printer power is turned OFF.

2. 

Plug the Centronics Output Port of the 

Xerox LS 3270

 into

the Centronics Input port of the printer and lock it with the
bail locks.

3.

Check that the rotary switch on the 

Xerox LS 3270 

is in the

correct position for the printer driver needed:

Position 

A

 for 

PCL 

(default)

Position 

B

 for 

FSL

If you need to make changes to the printer driver, see
section 1.1.1, 

PCL or FSL output Driver

, “Changing the

Driver”, for details on how to do this.

4.

Connect the coax cable to the 

Xerox LS 3270

.

5.

Power ON the printer. The CU and PAR LEDs of the 

Xerox

LS 3270 

will turn on if the power is sufficient (for location of

CU and PAR LEDs, see figure 2-1 in Section 2.1 

Knowing

the Front Panel

).

6.

Check power and signal connection. If po wer is sufficient

and a coax connection exists between the Xerox LS 3270
and a controller

, the green CU LED will stay ON. If the CU

and PAR LEDs were not turned on at power on, you must
add an external power supply to the 

Xerox LS 3270

.

5.

Send a job from the host system and check the printout.
Note that the system printer emulation 

must

 match the

Xerox LS 3270 

printer driver. If not, change the printer driver
