NOTE:

The Lucent Technologies 570 printer is not compatible with the system.

Printer connection varies depending on the printer model, whether the printer is grounded on the same AC outlet as the control unit, and whether the printer is within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the control unit. The procedures covered in this chapter are described below:

■If the CAT serial printer is used with a CAT and is grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit and is within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the control unit, refer to “Connecting a CAT and Printer on the Same AC Outlet.”

■If the CAT serial printer is used with a CAT and is either not grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit or is more than 50 ft. (15.2 m) from the control unit, refer to “Connecting a CAT and Printer on a Different AC Outlet.”

■If the SMDR or CAT printer is within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the control unit and is connected to the same 117-V AC branch as the control unit, refer to “Connecting a Printer Within 50 Feet (15.2 m).”

■If the SMDR or CAT printer is more than 50 ft. (15.2 m) from the control unit and is not connected to the same 117-V AC branch as the control unit, refer to “Connecting a Printer 50 Feet (15.2 m) or More Away.”

! CAUTION:

Before touching leads, connectors, pins, and other components, wear a properly grounded wrist strap, to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
