(a) If necessary, see instructions in Section 3.4.1, step (3).
(2) Locate the DB-25 female parallel printer port on the TB. It is labeled "P1".
(3) Use a standard parallel printer cable (customer supplied) for making the connection between
the GC Controller and the printer's parallel port.
To connect a printer to one of the Controller's serial (COM) ports, follow these steps:
(1) Access the GC Controller's Terminal Board for Field Wiring (TB) ( See drawing DE-20782).
(a) If necessary, see instructions provided in Section 3.4.1, step (1).
(2) Choose an available serial port on the TB that is configured for RS-232 serial protocol.
(a) Leave at least one serial port available for connecting the GC Controller to a PC
(usually COM1).
(b) Also leave available the other serial ports planned for use by RS-232 serial devices.
(c) See Section 3.4.4 for a complete listing of the TB's serial ports and their pinouts in
order to prepare a serial printer cable.
(3) After the wiring connections have been completed, use the GC software MON2000 to
configure the GC Controller's serial port for use by a printer.
(a) Select the "Application > Serial Ports menu path”.
(b) Choose the serial port that correlates to the COM port chosen in step (2), above.
(c) Set "Usage" to Report, "Prtcl" to ASCII and "RW" to W.
(d) Set all other settings to default values (i.e., "Baud Rate" 9600, "Data Bits" 7, "Stop
Bits" 1, "Parity" None, "RTS On" 0, "RTS Off" 0).
