2-28 Installation bb _________________________________________
Use the following procedure to connect your printer and host using
the serial port.
Caution: DO NOT confuse the serial and SCSI interface ports
when connecting the cables. This will cause permanent
printer damage which is not covered under the warranty.
The printer has a 9-pin serial port that is labeled clearly.
1. Turn the power off to your printer and host.
2. Plug the 9-pin (DB-9) male connector end of the serial cable
into the serial port on the back of your printer (fig. 2.20).
3. Plug the other end of the serial cable (with either a 25-pin or
9-pin connector) into the serial port on your host.
Now, your printer and host are connected. Before you print, make
sure the host, printer, and application are using the same
communication settings. The three settings which must match are
• Baud Rate
• Flow Control
• Parity
The factory default printer settings are 9600 baud, XON/XOFF flow
control, and No Parity (None). These settings are used in most serial
printing environments.
Note: Your Accel-a-Writer 812 always uses 8 data bits.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is the rate at which serial data is sent between the host
and the printer. Your Accel-a-Writer 812 supports 1200, 9600, and
19200 baud rates. The printer’s factory default is 9600.
See your host manual for details on checking and setting up the host
serial interface. You can check and set the baud rate for your
Accel-a-Writer 812 through the printer’s front panel or use the
procedure in “Changing Serial Communication Settings” later in this
chapter. See chapter 5, “Configuration,” for front panel setup
information.
