Installing a physical printer

Before you can use a physical printer, you must install the printer.

Perform the following steps to install a physical printer.
  1. Review all relevant installation planning information and the printer's documentation to ensure that you have the required components and information to install the printer.
  2. Review the terminal documentation for information on connecting printers to the auxiliary (AUX) port.
  3. Verify that the AUX port on the terminal is configured with the same settings as your printer, such as baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and XON/XOFF.
    • For information about setting values for the AUX port, consult your terminal documentation.
    • For information about configuring the printer's serial interface, consult your printer documentation.
  4. Connect the printer to the terminal's AUX port. Be sure to use the proper cabling. Consult your documentation for cabling instructions.
