Connecting to System

ida FS 250, Operator's Guide

Y24 = 0 is also used for Centronics output.

For this connection you need a spare cable ending in a 25-pole RS connector (i-data order no. 999010 030).

To use the serial input, Function 24 Data Input/Output Port Select must be set to zero (which is factory default).

On the PC you must also make the following settings to match the default settings on the box:

Function Y15: Baud rate, set to 5 = 9600

Function Y16: Number of data bits, set to 8 = 8 bits

Function Y17: Parity, set to 1 = No Parity

Function Y18, Number of Stop Bits, set to 1 = 1 Stop Bit

If this is not possible, you must change the functions 15, 16, 17 and 18 on the box to match the PC's values.

NOTE:

Programming of functions 15, 16, 17, 18 and 24 is not possible via the serial port. These functions have to be programmed either via the twinax or via the parallel input port.

TWINAX CONNECTOR

Before the twinax cable is connected, be sure to turn the box power OFF.

When power is turned off, plug the automatically terminating twinax T-cableinto the socket on the rear panel and turn the connector ring clockwise to lock.

ADDRESS SWITCH: EMULATION & PRINTER DRIVER SELECTION You use the address switch for selecting/changing emulation, setting

the address and for generating test printouts. Tests can also be made via the line. See the section Testing for details.

For details on emulation see the section : Emulation

The switch is also for future printer driver selection. Note that the device is set to PCL mode as a default which is the only supported printer driver mode. Do not attempt to change this.
