Getting Started

1.13 Connection to a Computer

Parallel/Serial Interface

-Switch the printer and computer OFF.

-Connect the interface cable coming from the computer to the printer's parallel

(1) or serial port (2).

-The printer is set by default to SHARED or PARALL./RS232 interface with the

following parameters:

	CI - 4040	CI - 4050
-	8 Kbyte buffer	-	8 Kbyte buffer
-	8 bit	-	8 bit
-	parallel interface type	-	shared interface type
-	9600 baud	-	9600 baud
-	parity ignore	-	parity ignore
-	DTR protocol	-	DTR protocol

-CTS ignore.

SHARED means that, after Power-ON, both the serial and the parallel interfaces are available for data transfer. The port to which data is sent becomes active automatically. If the parallel or serial parameters need to be changed, see Chapter 2, Menu Mode, and Appendix A, Interface Description.
