Now
the
power
supply wires must be connected. These are
the
two
loose
wires (one gray and one blue) which are soldered
to
the
D80 interface board.
They
will
be connected using
the
two
red clamps provided. Locate
the
plug
connector which attaches
to
the
main logic board
at
a
point
marked Cone
6.
The gray
wire
on
the
Cone 6 cable attaches
to
the
gray
wire
on
the
080
interface. Likewise,
the
blue
wire
on
the
Cone 6 cable attaches
to
the
blue
wire
on
the
D80 interface board. When
applying
the
wire
clamps, be sure
that
the
wire$ are contacting
the
metal points inside
the
clamps
so
that
the
insulation
will
be pierced by
damp.
The clamp should be squeezed
together
until
it
locks using a
pair
of
pliers
12.
It
is
now
time
to
install
the
data cable on
the
D80 interface board. First
it
will
be necessary
to
route
the
cable
through
the
rear
of
the
lower
housing.
Use
a
pair
of
pliers
to
twist
out
one
of
the
louvers on
the
lower
housing and
route
the
data
cable
through
the
opening.
Be
sure
to
route
the
cable
around
the
printer
chassis
so
that
there
can
be
no
interference
with
printer
operation.
Plug
the
data
cable connector
onto
the
D80 interface board.
Thrs
completes
the
installation.
At
this
time
turn
to
the
ELECTRONIC
COMPACT
OPTION
SETTINGS
heading on Page 1-9. The instructions there
will
guide
you
through
the
steps required
to
verify
proper
operation
of
the
Electronic Compact
as
a
slave
printer
connected
to
the
820 II.
SLAVE
PRINTER
OPERATION
Once
proper
operation
in
the
typewriter
configuration
has been confirmed
the
Electronic Compact may be used
as
a slave
printer
for
microcomputers
with
a serial
printer
interface. The
followin9
instructions
will
enable you
to
attach
the
Electronic
Compact
to
an 820
II
to
verify
it
s performance in this area.
1.
Begin by connecting
the
data cable
from
the
Electronic Compact
to
the
printer
port
of
the
820.
2.
Turn on
both
the
820 and Electronic Compact.
3.
Load a
CPM
Diskette
in
the
820. When
the
A>
prompt
appears on
the
820
display
type
CTRL
P.
This
will
direct the 820
to
print
whatever
appears on
the
display
from
this
time
on
until
another
CTRL
Pis entered.
4.
Now
type
DIR
followed
by a carriage return on
the
820. The directory
of
your
CPM
Diskette should be displayed on
the
screen, and
at
the
same
time
be
printed
by
the
Electronic Compact.
Correct
printing
of
the
Diskette Directory verifies
the
Electronic Compact's
ability
to
function
as
slave printer, and concludes this
portion
of
the
module.
If
the
Directory
printed
properly
turn
to
the
Module
Conclusion on Page 1-10.
However,
if
following
the
above directions
did
not
produce
the
expected results
it
is
possible
that
either
the
CPM
Diskette,
or
the
Electronic Compact,
or
both
will
have
to
have certain options reconfigured. The
option
settings
of
the Electronic Compact
should be checked first,
so
that
the
CPM
Diskette can be reconfigured
to
match it.
Continue
through
the
following
instructions
to
determine
the
option
settings
for
both
units and make required changes
to
the settings.
