Converters
To use the QuickLink communications cable or an external infrared device, you must connect
it to a 9-pin serial port on your computer. If your computer does not have a 9-pin serial port
available, use one of the following types of converters:
USB to 9-pin serial converters: Some computers, especially laptops, may have a
USB port instead of a serial port. In this case, a high speed USB to 9-pin serial
converter can be used to attach the SuperPen to the USB port. These converters
are available from your local reseller.
25-to-9-pin serial converters: If a 25-pin serial port is available, you can use a
25-to-9-pin converter (not supplied) to attach the cable or infrared device to the
25-pin serial port.
Note: You cannot connect the cable or infrared device to a parallel port.
Connecting with the QuickLink Communications Cable
The QuickLink communications cable has a connector at each end, which must be attached to
the appropriate hardware:
9-pin serial connector for attaching to the serial port on the computer.
Cable plug for attaching to the SuperPen.
To connect the cable:
1. Locate the 9-pin serial port on the back of your computer. Insert the 9-pin serial
connector into the serial port.
2. Insert the cable plug firmly into the PC link connector on the bottom of the SuperPen.
Connecting with an External Infrared Device
The external infrared device has a 9-pin connector at one end, which must be attached to the
back of the computer. To connect the device, insert the connector into the serial port on your
computer.
