Testing the Journal/PMS Log or System Printer

Using the RS232 Mini-Tester (see the Note on page 5), check the status of the printer connection. The leads marked with an asterisk are controlled by the switch, and the printer controls the other leads. If any of the switch leads are dark, there is no connection.

!CAUTION:

After using a mini-tester to check data leads, you MUST remove the mini-tester from the connection. DO NOT leave the mini-tester in-line during actual operation.

If the link is active, the mini-tester should show the following:

TD red

red RD*

RTS green

green CTS*

DSR* green

green DTR

CD* green

The following three test results occur if the link is idle, but the reason for each result is different.

The following will display if the link is not up; try the test journal pms command to start the link. The printer could also be busied out; try the release journal pms command to release the printer.

TD red

red RD*

RTS green
