connect to ports assigned as printer. All ports are flexible except as noted below (i.e., ports may be configured as computer or printer). The standard factory default power- up configuration follows:

706A & 706C: Port 6 - computer port (host) * Port 1 - printer port *

Ports 2 through 5 - computer ports

706D & 706E: Port 6 - computer port (host) Port 1 - printer port

Ports 2 through 5 - computer ports

708A & 708C: Port 8 - computer port (host) * Port 1 - printer port *

Ports 2 through 7 - computer ports

708D, 708E, & 708F: Port 8 - computer port (host) Port 1 - printer port

Ports 2 through 7 - computer ports

710C: Port 10 - computer port (host) * Port 1 - printer port *

Ports 2 through 9 - computer ports

710E & 710F: Port 10 - computer port (host) Port 1 - printer port

Ports 2 through 9 - computer ports

If your application requires port assignments that are different from the factory default configuration, you must reconfigure your unit. Step 5 discusses configuration mode.

NOTE: If your application requires sharing more than one printer or plotter, you will have to reconfigure the port assignment(s) of your unit.

*Ports are fixed as computer or printer (i.e., cannot be changed).

3 SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION

NOTE: This step does not apply to the 706A and 708A models.

The serial port configuration of your serial devices and Print Master must all match. Print Master's default configuration follows:

Baud Rate: 9600 bps

Word Size: 8 bits

Stop Bits: 1 bit

Parity: None

XON/XOFF: Off

If you will be connecting any serial devices which communicate with serial parameters different than the default configuration, you must access configuration mode and make the appropriate changes. Step 5 discusses configuration mode.

Correct cables for the serial and parallel ports are vital for error free operation.
