A. Serial Ports
Serial ports on Print Master are DCE. Therefore, straight cabling is required between the computer's serial port and Print Master's serial port. A straight cable is also required between Print Master's serial port and the serial port of a printer or plotter.
B. Parallel Ports
A straight through 25 pin parallel
Please see Appendix A of this manual for more cabling information.
5CONFIGURATION MODE
If you need to access configuration mode to change the port assignment or serial port configuration (see Steps 2 and 3 respectively), please see Section 7 of this manual for instructions. If not, there is no need to access configuration mode.
NOTE: The easiest way to access configuration mode is to use the supplied utility created by running the INSTALL program as described in Section 4.2. This utility is TERM.EXE for all models other than the 706A and 708A. The utility for the 706A and 708A models is PARSEND.EXE.
6PORT SELECTION
NOTE: If you will have only one printer or plotter connected, you may skip this step.
You must select a printer port in multiple printer applications. The recommended methods to send the Port Select Code are:
A.TSR - Select a port from a menu in the memory resident program using hot keys. See
the README file generated by running the INSTALL program on the BayTech software utility diskette. When you run INSTALL, a menu titled "Printer Selection Programs" will appear on your screen. You are given three selections: RAMEXEC, RAMTSR, and WNDEXEC. Choose RAMEXEC if your PC runs
B.Physically insert the Port Select Code as the first characters of the text or data in
the
document. See Section 6.2.8 (Port Selection Methods) for more information concerning the Port Select Code.
C.Create a separate file containing only the Port Select Code. See Section 6.2.8 (Port Selection Methods) for more information.
7MODE COMMANDS
NOTE: If you are not connecting any serial PCs, you may skip this step.
