Section 2: Basic Installation
Connecting Printers to the AXIS 540/640
Caution MMake sure that the external power supply is marked with the correct mains voltage.
Connect a Printer: 1. Switch off the printer.
2. Connect the AXIS 540/640 to the printer, either directly to the parallel printer port, or using the optional velcro ribbons and printer cable extension.
3. Connect the external power supply to the AXIS 540/640. The indicators will flash during power up and self test. When the Network indicator stops flashing and remains off, the AXIS 540/640 is ready for use.
Test the Connection: 1. Switch on the printer.
2. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 540/640 to print a test page.
The test page shows the most important parameters as well as the firmware version number. But all you need to be concerned with at this stage is whether the test page has printed satisfactorily or not.
Note: ❏ The AXIS 540/640 supports high speed Centronics Communication. For use with older printers not supporting high speed, this function may be disabled by changing the parameter L1_CENTR as defined in Appendix A - The Test Button.
