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

NOTE

Whenever the printer is powered off, the A/C-7P RO must also be powered off to ensure they stay in sync with each other.

To install the A/C-7S RO:

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

2.Use the configuration switches on the A/C-7S RO’s front panel to select the desired output protocol and the serial output parameters for the interface. Refer to Tables 4.1 and 4.5 for configuration switch settings.

3.Connect the serial cable from the A/C-7S RO’s “Serial Out” connector to the printer’s serial port.

4.If the sharing port is used, attach a second serial cable to the A/C- 7S RO’s “Serial In” port. Note that a PC or LAN connected to the A/C-7S’s sharing port should always be powered on when the A/C-7S RO is operating. In addition, the PC/LAN and the interface must be using the same serial parameters. Refer to Section 5.1, Printer Sharing, for more information.

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

6.Power on the A/C-7S RO, then the printer. The A/C-7S RO’s green LED lights labeled “Power” and “Printer On Line” should be on. If the sharing port is used and handshaking requirements are met, the LED labeled “PC/LAN Ready” should also be on.

7.Print an A/C-7S RO self-test. Power off the interface, then set configuration switch SW1:8 (far right on the first switch bank) to the “” position. (If you are operating a label printer, put the printer in ASCII hex dump mode, then power on the A/C- 7S RO. If the label printer starts printing, the A/C-7S RO has passed the self-test. To obtain a printout of the current settings, connect the A/C-7S RO to a laser or dot-matrix printer.) Power on the A/C-7S 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. Refer Chapter 4 for further information.
