COMMUNICATING TO THE PRINTER
The printer must establish communications with a host terminal which sends the data to be printed. Communi- cations occur in three basic ways:
•By a cable between the printer and its host terminal
•Infrared (usually by means of the industry standard IrDA protocol)
•Using the Bluetooth™ wireless protocol

Cable Communications
The Cameo PEP printer can communicate by cable; the specific cable supplied with your printer will vary with the host terminal. The 8- pin circular connector on your communications cable plugs into the serial communica- tions port on the side of the Cameo PEP printer. It is keyed to assure correct alignment; do not try to force it if it does not plug in. The other end of the cable must be plugged into the host terminal. Communications between the terminal and the printer is controlled by the applica- tions running on the terminal and the printer.
