Installation guide

If you are using a 25-pin PC/SA with xon/xoff, follow these steps:
1. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to contain the following two lines:
mode com1:4800,n,8,1,-,n
mode lpt1:=com1:
where:
mode com1:4800,n,8,1,-,n specifies that the first serial port (COM1) is
used by the printer, that 4800 baud is the
communication speed, that no parity is selected,
that eight data bits are selected, that one stop bit
is used, that the printer tries only once to connect,
then time-out, and that the type weight is normal.
mode lpt1:=com1: reassigns the printer output to COM1, the first
serial port.
NOTE: On IBM personal computers and compatibles, printer output is
normally directed to LPT1, the first parallel port.
2. Connect the H8571–J adapter as described in Table A–1.
3. Refer to the DEClaser 1100 Printer Operator’s Guide for instructions
on how to select xon/xoff.
A.2.2 Parallel Communication
If you are using an IBM PC, DECstation PC, or compatible and want to
use the parallel port, follow these steps:
1. Refer to the DEClaser 1100 Printer Operator’s Guide for instructions
on how to select parallel operation.
2. Use Digital’s BC19M–10 cable or the industry standard Centronics 25-
pin D-shell cable to make the connection from the PC to the DEClaser
1100 printer.
