Setting Up Your Printer

To connect the Printer to EBCDIC devices, or devices with any other data encoding standard, a protocol converter must be used. A protocol converter translates the bit patterns of one standard to the bit patterns of another standard. Some protocol converters are also interface converters, combining two functions into one box. Many of these products are available from the manufacturer of your computer equipment or your local reseller. Please note that additional commands may be needed to control the protocol converter you select for your data interface.
