HP 24SII manual

If you are connecting your PC to the Model 24SII DES in serial and are not going to use the BayTech software, you would not need to modify your PATH command or include the RAMEXEC command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

If you are connecting your PC in parallel and intend to use the BayTech software, you would not include either MODE command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (unless you are using your com port for another application outside the Model 24SII DES).

If you are connecting your PC in parallel and are not going to use the BayTech software, there is no need to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Just print normally after you cable the PC to the Model 24SII DES and configure the Model 24SII DES (if required).

Parallel ports on the Model 24SII DES have DB-25 female connectors. A straight, DB-25 male-to-male cable is required between each IBM PC computer (or compatible) and the parallel ports on the Model 24SII DES.

CAUTION: Some standard EIA-232 DB-25 cables may have Pin 1 grounded to connector shell. Since there is a strobe line on Pin 1 in Centronics protocol, this ground must be removed if the cable is used between an IBM PC and the Model 24SII DES in parallel.

A DB-25 male to Centronics cable is required between each printer having a Centronics connector and the Model 24SII DES (same as IBM PC to Centronics cable).

￿￿NOTE: BayTech will guarantee parallel data transmission for cable lengths up to 15 feet. If you require a longer distance, it is suggested that you either use parallel line drivers (such as Tran-x), extended distance parallel cables, or consider a serial connection.
