Printer and System Attachment
The Axis AFP factory default setting is IBM 4028/3916 IPDS emulation set for
US English character set and A4 size paper.
To connect the Axis AFP to your system and printer, do the following:
1. Power off the printer and the Axis AFP.
2. Connect the printer cable between Axis AFP and the printer.
Coax: 3. Set the rotary switch at the back panel of Axis AFP to position '0' for normal
print operation.
4. Connect the coax cable leading from the IBM system control unit to Axis
AFP.
5. Power on the Axis AFP and the printer. All front panel indicators will be
turned on and then off in order, showing that internal tests are performed.
Twinax: 3. Locate an available device address (twinax port). The selected address must
be configured for the IBM printer type that the Axis AFP emulates (IBM
4028/3916 by default).
4. Set the rotary switch at the back panel of Axis AFP to the selected device
address.
5. Connect the T-bar cable to the twinax cable leading from the IBM system,
and to the Axis AFP. The optional Axis T-bar cable is auto terminating (there
is no need for a termination plug if the Axis AFP is the last unit on the twinax
line).
6. Power on the Axis AFP and the printer. All front panel indicators will be
turned on and then off in order, showing that internal tests are performed.
When all indicators have been turned off in the sequence, a power-on page is
printed. If you don't want this page each time the Axis AFP is powered on, set
Power On Page (parameter #3010) to 'No'.
To alter the settings, continue to Section 3, Configuration. The set-up only
needs to be done once and may already have been done by your dealer.
