2.4 CONNECTING A PRINTER TO THE HORIZON
A printer with either an RS-232 serial interface or a parallel interface can be connected to the
HORIZON. A serial printer can be placed fifty or more feet away from the computer, while
the cable to a parallel printer can be no more than ten feet long.
Before connecting the printer and the HORIZON, read the instruction manual provided
with the printer. Follow the steps specified by the manufacturer to set these standard
operating parameters:
1200 Baud
Full Duplex
No Parity
If the printer you are using cannot operate at 1200 baud, consult the HORIZON Computer
System Manual for instructions.
Connect the computer and the printer before attaching the power cord to the computer.
Make sure that the power to the printer is turned off and the power cord is unplugged from
the wall socket.
