The LTC 8900 Series CPU does not provide a direct printer port. The CONSOLE interface port
of the CPU can be configured to operate as a Printer output port. Do this by connecting a
dumb terminal (or use the Windows Hyperterminal mode) to the CONSOLE port and issuing
the following Command Console Language (CCL) command at the system prompt.
TC8900 > PRT2CON1
To convert back to normal Console operation, issue the same command to the port (no echo
will be visible this time), but use a numeric value of zero.
Switch the main power to the printer OFF.
Install a ribbon cartridge and paper if necessary.
Set any configuration switches for your printer, to match the format provided by the LTC 8900
Series CPU. Note that the CPU communication protocol can be changed using the PC-based
configuration software package, but the factory default values are as follows:
Baud rate
115,200
Stop bits
1
Data bits
8
Parity
None
Hardware handshaking
(RTS/CTS)
ON
NOTE: The CONSOLE port does not provide a standardized pinout connection. An interface
cable designed for a standard serial printer connection is required. Cable pinout information
can be found at the end of this manual.
Attach the 9-pin male connector side of the cable to the LTC 8900 Series CPU bay connector
labeled CONSOLE.
Apply power to the printer.
Verify logging printer action by loading a previously stored sequence into a monitor, activating
an alarm, or performing a system reset. Any of these actions should cause a printout to occur.
The logging printer reports the following types of system status changes:
1. Incoming alarms
2. Acknowledgment of alarms by users
3. Loading of sequences
4. User logon/logoff to keyboard or console port
5. Console broadcast messages
6. Console transfer of system tables
7. Activation of time event functions
8. Power-up reset messages
9. Video loss messages
