Connecting the Printer to the Parallel Port
Proceed as follows to connect your printer:
1. Separate the Rack PC from the mains and switch off the printer.
2. Plug the printer cable into the parallel port “Parallel/LPT”.
3. Connect the printer cable to the printer.
4. Screw the connector tight at the interface port.
Caution
Switch the unit off before connecting the parallel printer to the parallel port (the
printer should also be switched off).
Make sure that you use the correct port. If you use the wrong port or wrong
connecting cables, the port may be damaged.
Before plugging in the cables, the electrostatic charge of your body, the unit, and
the cables must be equalized. To do this, touch the mounting plate for the ports on
the left-hand side of the unit. Only use original connecting cables.
Connecting the Printer to the Serial Ports
You can also connect your printer to the Rack PC using the serial port “Serial 1” or
the COM2 (optional). You will find information on how to adapt and set your port
and which connecting cable you require in the description of your printer.
