Connecting a Printer
If you connect a printer to the 1100R+ tester, you will be able to print cable documentation,
error information, and test reports. Without a printer, you’ll need to scroll display information
and transcribe results.
To Connect a Compatible Printer to the Tester:
1. Make sure the tester and the
printer are turned off.
2. Connect one end of the parallel
printer cable to the tester and
connect the other end to the
printer.
Will any printer work?
Not all printers will work. Many inexpensive desk printers sold today are
Win or Windows Printers meaning they work only with Windows
applications. Select a parallel printer that is DOS compatible and capable
of receiving ASCII text. You can purchase a compatible printer from Cirris.
A Parallel Printer Cable
To connect the tester to the printer you also need a
standard parallel printer cable available at most
computer stores.
