Installing the PC, CAT, or Printer

Connecting a Printer to the

Control Unit

A printer can be connected to the SMDR jack on the control unit.

The following printers are supported:

AT&T 572 Printer

AT&T 475/476 Printer

AT&T Call Accounting Terminal (CAT) Printer

AT&T Call Accounting System Printer

AT&T Applications Printer

NOTE:

The AT&T 570 printer is not compatible with the system.

Printer connection varies depending on the printer model, whether the printer is grounded on the same AC outlet as the control unit, and whether the printer is within 50 ft (15 m) of the control unit. All methods are explained in this chapter:

If the printer is an AT&T CAT serial printer used with a CAT and is grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit and within 50 ft

(15 m) of the control unit, skip to the section, “Connecting a CAT and Printer on the Same AC Outlet.”

If the printer is an AT8tT CAT serial printer used with a CAT and is either not grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit or more than 50 ft (15 m) from the control unit, skip to the section, “Connecting a CAT and Printer on a Different AC Outlet.”

If the SMDR or CAT printer is within 50 ft (15 m) of the control unit and is connected to the same 117-VAC branch as the control unit, skip to the section, “Connecting a Printer (Within 50 Feet)”

If the SMDR or CAT printer is more than 50 ft (15 m) from the control unit and is not connected to the same 117-VAC branch as the control unit, skip to the section, “Connecting a Printer (50 Feet or More).”
