To connect to the Labconco RS-232 connector, use a 6-wire telephone cable
connection such as a Radio Shack #279-422. Simply insert one end into the
washer RJ-25 connector (labeled RS-232) and connect the other end to the printer.
Make sure the necessary power pack supplied with the printer is connected and
the printer is on.
