Connecting a Second Printer via Serial
After connecting a printer to the 5250 OPTIMA via SERIAL I/O PORT 1,
a second printer may be connected via SERIAL I/O PORT 0.
SERIAL I/O PORT 0 has a DB-25, DCE-standard pin-out. It is intended
primarily for use as an alternate host port; however, it may be used as an
output port to a printer.
The cable necessary to connect SERIAL I/O PORT 0 to a printer may be
ordered from AGILE.
To connect the OPTIMA to the printer:
1. Insert the printer end of the serial printer cable into the connector on
the rear of the printer.
2. Tighten the thumbscrews until the connection is firm, but do not
overtighten.
