Putting the printer into operation
1.) Connect the printer with the 9-pole socket of the Multicast compact (the 25-pole socket must only be used to connect the original printer or
the control element!)
2.) Switch on the printer for „online" mode
3.) Switch on the casting unit without pressing any key. Only in the case of initial recognition the message „Drucker erkannt (printer
recognized)" will be displayed briefly. If this message is not displayed, check the cable once more and make sure that the printer is „online".
4.) Switch off the casting unit and switch on again with the „PROG" key pressed down.
5.) Change the casting protocol to "extern (external)" in the „Grundeinstellungen vornehmen (perform basic settings)" mode. The
corresponding menu will only appear, if the printer has been recognized correctly (see chapter 3.7). Exit „Grundeinstellungen vornehmen
(perform basic settings)".
Now, with the printer being activated („online"), the message „Bitte warten, Ausdruck (please wait, print-out)" should be displayed briefly after each
casting process and a printout should be performed.
