Connecting a PostScript Printer
5. Plug the power cord of your printer into an AC outlet, and turn the power
switch to the On position.
6. Configure your printer.
See the manual for your printer for information about setting options. Set
the switch settings on your printer to the following parameters:
•
DTE: ON.
•
Modem control signals disabled. If your printer requires Clear-To-Send
(CTS) and Data-Set-Ready (DSR), loop back the following lines on the
printer: connect line 4 to line 5, and line 6 to line 20.
•
Baud rate: 9600.
•
X ON/X OFF enabled.
7. Define the printer to your system.
After connecting, powering up, and configuring your printer, you must
inform your system about the new device. The device driver needs to know
where to send data that you want to output on the printer. For information
about defining a PostScript-compatible printer to the device driver, refer to
the system administration manual for your system.
