5. The "Auxiliary RS-232 Output" (D6555 Printer Terminator)
The D6555 Printer Terminator Card is an expansion accessory for the D6500 Receiver. It supports a
supervised external printer or CRT monitor from its RS-232 Serial Port. Refer to the D6500 Operation and
Installation Manual for installation instructions.
The RS-232 port can be used in conjunction with or instead of the internal printer. MPU card programming
determines which device(s) are to be primary machine(s). Refer to the D6500 Program Entry Guide.
J3 Jumper Configuration
Jumper J3 sets up the RS-232 data
I/O protocols for the external device
(Printer or CRT) to be connected to
the D6555. Located near the middle
of the D6555 circuit card, Jumper J3
has Dual Socket Jumpers that are
used to configure the D6555 for the
external device, as shown in Figure
2.
NOTES
: Pin 7 in the 25-Pin RS-
232 Connector is
always
Grounded. Additional
Grounding connections
between the D6500
Receiver and the external
printer or CRT are
not
necessary.
