QMS 1060 Print System Getting Started 4-2
Introduction
This chapter explains what an interface is and describes how to con-
nect your printer to a PC via the parallel port and/or the serial port.
Interface
Interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can work
together. Printer-computer interface is the way a printer connects to
and works with a computer (a microcomputer, workstation, minicom-
puter, mainframe computer, or a network), and it involves both hard-
ware and software. The way your printer interfaces with a computer
depends on many things, including computer type, computer ports
available, interface cabling, application software, printer emulations,
and printer drivers.
Optional Interfaces
In addition to the three standard interfaces—LocalTalk, bidirectional
parallel, and serial—the QMS 1060 Print System has the option of
using two optional interfaces to connect your printer to an Ethernet or
Token-Ring network.
If you’ve purchased an optional interface for your printer, see chapter
6, “Printer Options” of the
Reference
guide as well as the documenta-
tion that comes with the interface for installation instructions.
Before Making the Connection
If you have new PC and it has not been connected yet, before con-
necting the printer to the PC, you should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for setting up the PC and installing (if necessary) any
operating system software, such as DOS and and/or Windows.
