Usage Notes 7 Usage Notes The following notations and symbols are used in this manual: þ Ctrl - F1 : the two keys, Ctrl and F1 , are to be pressed simultaneously.
8 Introduction Communications This terminal is equipped with three ports. The two serial ports are intended for connecting to either a host/modem or a serial printer. The remaining port is a Centronics - compatible printer port. The port you use as the printer port depends on whether you have a serial or a parallel interface to the printer.
Communications 9 In addition to software “receive” flow control (Xon/Xoff), the serial host/printer ports support “receive” hardware flow control.
10 Introduction Host/Printer Port 2 This port, labeled “SES2 - AUX,” is designed to connect to a host connection (computer or modem) or a serial printer, and can operate from 110 to 19,200 baud. This port uses an RS - 232 - C interface via a DB25 female connector, and is configured as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device.
Communications 11 Parallel Printer Port This port, labeled “PAR,” is designed for connection to a parallel printer, which has a Centronics interface with a 25 - pin D - shell female connector. This port, unlike the others, is a uni - di rectional device — it only serves to output data to the printer and cannot receive data.
