Ask your System
Administrator which
method you will use to
communicate with the
host:
Serial Communication
9 to 25 pin cable
(Part #118364)
25 to 25 pin cable
(Part #118366)
Parallel Communication
IEEE-1284 or
Centronics® mode cable
(Part #118363) See
"Setting DIP Switches" for
more information.
Connecting the Communication Cable
Connect the communication cable into the appropriate port.
Secure the cable with the connecting screws (serial) or spring
clips (parallel).
If you are communicating with the host through the serial port,
make sure the printer’s communication values match those at the
host. The factory default values are 9600 Baud, 8 bit data frame,
1 stop bit, no parity, and DTR flow control.
The printer supports a baud rate up to 38400.
Make sure your host is capable of
communicating at the speed you select for the
printer.
