11.3 Serial-to-parallel adapter cable
A serial-to-parallel printer cable, K1589, is available to convert the serial output from
the ANT-5 for use with parallel printers. It comes with a 9-way to 25-way adapter. It is
advisable to connect the printer cable to the ANT-5 before switching the unit on.
This cable has a number of internal jumper settings which must be configured by the
user prior to use. These settings must match the settings in the Serial Port section of
the System menu. The jumpers are accessible by removing the four securing screws
in the headshell; further details are supplied with the cable. K1589 has been tested
with the HP Deskjet 320 printer in the following configuration:
Baud Rate 19200 Parity NONE Stop Bits ONE
Word Length 8 BITS Flow Control SOFT
Note: Cable K1589 is classified as Limit A according to EN55022.
