A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO

3. Installation

Before connecting the A/C-7 RO to the printer, verify that the printer functions properly by performing a printer self-test. Consult the printer’s user’s guide for instructions on how to start and evaluate the self-test. If the printer functions properly, proceed with the installation of the A/C-7 RO.

WARNING

Electrical current from power lines and cables connecting the A/C-7 RO, printer, and PC can be hazardous. To minimize the danger, follow the instructions below.

NOTE

Do not connect the interface to the coax cable until Step 9.

To install the A/C-7P RO:

1.Power off the printer and PC (if used) and disconnect the power cord(s).

2.Use the configuration switches located on the A/C-7P RO’s front panel to select the desired output protocol. Refer to Table 4.1 for configuration switch settings.

3.Connect the parallel cable from the interface’s “Parallel Out” connector to the printer’s parallel port.

4.If the sharing port of the A/C-7P RO is used, attach the parallel cable now. Note that a PC or LAN connected to the A/C-7P RO’s sharing port should always be powered up when the A/C-7P RO is operating.

5.Connect the wall mount transformer from the outlet to the A/C-7P RO’s “9V” connector. Connect the power cord(s) to the printer and PC (if used).

6.Power on the A/C-7P RO, then printer. The A/C-7P RO’s green LED lights labeled “Power” and “Printer On Line” should be lit.

7.Print an A/C-7P RO self-test. Power off the A/C-7P RO. Set configuration switch SW1:8 (far right) to the “” position. Power on the A/C-7P RO. After the self-test prints, set configuration switch SW1:8 back to the “o” position, then cycle the power one more time.

8.Refer to the self-test printouts to determine which configuration parameters need to be altered. Change these parameters by using the Host/PC download commands.

9.With the A/C-7P RO powered off, attach the coax cable from the host to the A/C-7P RO’s BNC connector.
