Optional Coaxial/Twinaxial Interface

a.If there is a device up stream from this printer, the twinaxial cable will originate at the “OUT” connector of that device. The other end of this cable attaches to either side of the “smart T” connector on the printer.

b.If this printer is the first or only device on this line (only one cable is attached to the printer), the “smart T” will automatically provide the proper termination for the cable.

Step 4 - Verify that the address setting for this device is correct. Be certain that no address on the line is duplicated. Remember that the black line on the side of the address knob indicates the current address. Only addresses 0 through 6 are valid.

Step 5 - Turn the printer ON.

Step 6 - To ensure that the printer is properly installed, run the “WORK STATION PRINTER TEST” from the IBM system according to the following instructions. If you incur any problems while attempting to run this test, please refer to the section on VERIFICATION PROBLEMS later in this appendix.

Perform the following steps to test the configuration:

a.Select option “2” on the Prime Option Menu, “Work Station Printer Verification”, to run the IBM printer verification test.

b.Select this printer's ID number to run the test on this printer.

c.Select the number of times you wish to print the Work Station Verification Test. The possible selections are:

1Print test 1 time.

2Print test 2 times.

3Print test 3 times.

4Print test continuously.

d.Select option “C” on the Work Station Printer Verification menu, when you have finished printing the test. You will be returned to the “Prime Option Menu”.
