Installing and Using the DEClaser 1152

Printer with a PC

This chapter explains how to set up the DEClaser 1152 printer to print from
your PC running MS-Windows, Version 3.1 or MS–DOS, Version 5.0.

1.1 Connecting the DEClaser 1152 Printer to the PC

The DEClaser 1152 printer supports the following cables for PCs:

Cable

Order Number

Parallel

BC19M–10

DEC423 Serial

BC16E–10 cable (included)

EIA-232 Serial

H8571–E or H8571–J adaptor (See the DECdirect catalog for more
information.)

Most installations use the parallel cable for faster data transfer. We
recommend using the BC19M-10 or an equivalent parallel printer cable
(not included) to connect your printer to the PC.
