Configuration changes are made through the master configuration port which is the highest numbered port on all models. Print Master will transmit configuration menus to the serial device connected to the master configuration port on all models except the 706A and 708A. The 706A and 708A will print out configuration menus on a parallel printer connected to Port 1 as described in Section 7.1. If you are configuring a 700C unit, please see Section 7.2. If you are configuring a 700D, 700E, or 700F unit, please see Section 7.3.

Please use the following procedure to access configuration mode of the 706A or 708A and to program all the various features:
1.Connect a computer with a parallel port such as an IBM PC or compatible to Port 6 of the 706A or Port 8 of the 708A. Connect a printer with a parallel port to Port 1 of either unit. Please see Section 5.1 and Appendix A.4 for parallel cabling information.
Since configuration must be performed through a parallel port and since parallel communication is unidirectional, configuration menus must be printed out on your printer.
2.The computer must be in a mode that allows characters to be sent from the keyboard to the parallel port. To put your computer into this mode, Bay Tech provides a utility program (PARSEND) or a suggested program to run using MS BASIC (see Section 4.2.).
NOTE: Make sure the keyboard of your computer is in the CAPS LOCK position.
