Warnings
Cables
Use only AGILE 6287 ULTRA interface cables. Due to the unique design of the ULTRA input and output ports, ordinary cables will not work and may cause damage to the equipment.
Shock
Never open the ULTRA when the power is on or when it is connected to any power source. Opening the ULTRA may void the warranty.
Notes
Standard Factory Setup
Unless otherwise requested, The ULTRA is shipped with the following defaults:
•Parallel output
•ASCII character set
•Right margin set to column 132
•All dip switches in the OFF (up) position
•All menu items set to defaults
If the user’s equipment does not match these parameters, these configuration settings on the ULTRA must be changed.
Serial Port Setup
With serial interfacing, the baud rate and parity settings of the ULTRA must match the serial port settings of the printer and alternate host (if using an alternate host). Baud rates and parity are selected using the dip switches on the ULTRA back panel. Parity settings also determine the start bits, stop bits and word length (data bits) of the serial ports.
The ULTRA supports both XON/XOFF (software) and RTS/CTS (hardware) handshaking protocols. If the user’s equipment also supports both handshaking protocols, one of the handshaking methods must be disabled on the user’s device.
