4.Attach the parallel printer(s) cables.

Attach the parallel cable to the female DB25 parallel port on the front of the FastPort. Connect the other end of the cable to a standard, centronics port on the printer.

5.Attach the serial printer cables.

Attach a serial cable to the male DB9 printer port on the front of the unit. The other end of the cable should be connected to a female DB9 with the standard serial interface pinout.

A null modem cable or adapter is necessary if the printer’s serial port is a DTE device. If the cable will work for an IBM PC attached to a printer, then it will work for FastPort.

Note: See Appendix A for serial port pinouts.

6.Set the printer to the defaults for the serial port: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and Xon/Xoff for flow control.

7.Connect the power supply and verify normal boot-up:

a.Select the proper voltage for the specific country

b.Place the unit near the printer

c.Plug the power connector into the receptacle marked 16VAC on the rear of the unit
