Setting Up Your Printer
Connecting the I/O
After connecting each interface to your printer, run a print job from the
Host Computer to verify proper function of the printer.
Serial/Parallel
The serial interface operates up to 38.4 kBaud and uses a standard DB
25 serial cable connector and standard RS-232-C signals.
The Centronics parallel port is IEEE-1284 compliant and uses a 36-pin
1284-B type connector (AMP 555119-1 or equivalent).
To connect the Serial or Parallel I/O cable, plug in the cable to the
proper connector on the I/O panel.
Twinax Connector
To connect your printer to a Twinax host system, use the Smart T
connector. Plug the DB-15 connector into the Host Interface plug on the
printer I/O panel.
If you are installing a printer on an active system, go through the
following list before connecting the Twinax cable(s).
•
Verify that the printer address matches the one given it on the
host and that no addresses are duplicated anywhere on the line.
You can check the address of the printer by accessing the HELP
Menu on your printer control panel and printing out a Control
Panel Selections Printout (see Chapter 3).
•
Make sure the printer is turned OFF.
•
Terminate the device immediately up cable (between the printer
and the host) from the printer.
•
Any jobs going to devices down cable (between the printer and
the end of the network) must be put on HOLD.
•
Place any devices that are down cable from the printer OFFLINE.
Now connect the cable from the out connector of the up cable device to
either side of the Host Connector Smart T and if there are devices down
cable, connect the cable going to them to the other side of the Smart T.
The Smart T automatically takes care of terminating the Twinax line or
allowing throughput of data to devices located down cable from the
printer.
