The software supports Siemens printers (known as standard
printers) and printers from other manufacturers (non-standard
printers). The printer parameters for these printers must be set by
loading *DR.INI or using a printer selection box. A description of
how to do this can be found in the STEP 5 manual (Chapter 3,
Documentation / Settings / Setting Printer Parameters).
Note
The devices must only be connected together using the cables
when both devices are switched off.
Secure the cable connectors (screw or locking device) whenever
possible. This prevents transmission errors.
