6.1 Interfacing with External Devices
The DMS 2 can be configured to communicate with four
different types of external devices:
• Select printers
• Personal computers equipped with a DMS 2 software
program (like UltraMATE® Lite, UltraMATE® or
UltraPIPE®)
Communication takes place with a printer or a personal
computer (PC) through a serial I/O port equipped with a 7-pin
Lemo #00 connector and located on the top panel of the
DMS 2.
6.1.1 Specifying Printers
The DMS 2 will communicate with many printers. The user
must first identify the type of printer. Printing is automatically
preset to 9600 BAUD. NO ADJUSTMENT OF THE BAUD
RATE SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED. There are two types of
cable used to connect the DMS 2 to a printer. One cable is for
Parallel printers and the other for Serial printers. (see note
below) The parallel printer cable must be configured for 9600
BAUD by setting DIP Switch #1 to the ON position. Use the
following procedure to identify a printer type:
Step 1: Activate the TG Secondary Menu by pressing
at the same time
Step 2: Activate the I/O submenu by selecting it with
or
so that it’s highlighted. Five selections will appear
across the bottom of the display screen.
