Appendix C Host Computer Interface

Connecting the Printer to the Computer

1.Check that the power of both the printer and computer is switched off.

2.Discharge yourself by touching a metal object such as a doorknob.

3.Remove the plastic cap from the printer’s RS-232C interface connector.

4.Plug the printer end of the RS-232C interface cable into the printer’s RS-232C connector and screw it in place.

5.Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s RS-232C interface connector.

6.Switch on the printer’s power.

7.The printer’s RS-232C parameters are factory-set to the following values:

Baud rate=9600 bps, Data bits (character length)=8 bits, Stop bits=1, Parity=None

The three RS-232C protocols are XON/XOFF and DTR. The printer performs all three of them simultaneously, using positive logic for DTR.
