Connecting a serial cable

• Unplug the printer from its AC power outlet.
Plug one end of a serial cable into the printer's serial port and secure it
in place with the two screws on the cable.
• Plug the other end of the serial cable into one of your computer's serial
ports. Serial ports are usually marked COM1, COM 2, etc. If your
computer has only one serial port, it will be marked COM1.

Setting the serial interface unit's DIP switches

You should set the serial interface unit's DIP
switches so they match the settings you make
on your computer. The table to the right shows
the parameter that each DIP switch controls.
The following tables show all of the settings
you can make with the interface unit's DIP
switches. The tables also include the matching
settings you have to make in your MS-DOS
AUTOEXEC.BAT file or with the Ports option
of the Windows Control Panel. The

settings for the serial interface unit.
