To cable Print Masters equipped with Option 19 together, connect Port 10 of a 710 having a lower Unit ID Number to port 9 of a 710 having a higher Unit ID Number with a male-to-male crossed cable (BayTech part number MM09XYYY, where YYY is the required length). The required pinout is shown in Figure 3 on page 18.

Cascaded units power up from the factory in contention mode, which allows any of the computers connected to a particular unit to contend for any of the printers connected to that same unit. These computers will not contend for printers connected to other Print Master units when in power-up contention mode.

Printer selection is accomplished by sending a printer select sequence consisting of the Printer Select Code followed by a two-digit number. This two digit number consists of the desired Unit ID Number followed by the desired printer port number on that unit.

NOTE: $PRINTER is the factory default Printer Select Code. Other codes may be programmed, but all cascaded Print Master units must be configured to have the same Printer Select Code.

EXAMPLE 1: If a computer connected to unit number 1 wishes to print to a printer connected to port 5 of unit number 4, the computer would send $PRINTER45.

EXAMPLE 2: If a computer connected to Unit number 2 wishes to send data to any printer connected to Unit 3 (contention mode), the computer would send $PRINTER30.

EXAMPLE 3: If a computer connected to Unit number 4 wishes to output data to the printer connected to Port 1 of the same unit, the computer would send $PRINTER41.
