Third: Install the Cable Internally
The base station cable is installed internal to the IBM 3683/84 with the cable
exiting the rear of the terminal.
1. Remove the printer assembly as follows:
• Disconnect the printer ground strap (slide on connector) from the right
side of the printer, as shown in Figure 5-7).
• Slide the two printer locking tabs (black plastic) toward the front of the
register while pressing downward, as shown in Figure 5-8.
• Lift the printer up and out.
2. The cable to be installed is illustrated in Figure 5-9.
3. Mark an X on the side of J16 that faces the front of the terminal. Remove the
J16 connector from the keyboard connector bracket. Slide the J16 connector
under the printer mounting plate. See Figure 5-10.
4. Using a small screwdriver, remove the cable access door from the rear of
the register. Position the cable to connect J2 to J16 using the jumper PCB.
Make sure J2 and J16 are positioned so that the X and • align. (Some cables
are marked with TERM rather than •.) Use the tie wraps provided to secure
the connection. See Figure 5-11.
5. Slide J1 under the printer mounting plate to the keyboard access opening.
Pull it through the opening and secure it with the retaining clips (where J16
originally was). See Figure 5-12. (Some cables are marked with KBD or
Keyboard rather than •.)

cable access door at the rear of the register.
7. Replace the printer assembly as follows:
• Attach the ground strap to the right side of the assembly.
