By responding to the Enter Request: message at the end of the main
configuration menu with "4" (Set Number of Printers), you may
change the number of printers.
IMPORTANT:
The lowest-numbered ports on the 706C, 708C and
710C Print Masters are reserved as printer ports. For example, the
Model 706C has a total of six available ports of which as many as five
may be printer ports with the remainder reserved as computer ports.
If you configure two printer ports on Print Master 706C, these would
be ports 1 and 2. If you configure four printer ports, these would be
ports 1, 2, 3, and 4. Printer ports may not be configured in any other
order.
Print Master will respond with:
Number of printers is....................1
Enter Number of Printers (1 to 5)........:
Enter the number of printers that you desire.
NOTE:
When the number of printers is changed, the printer
assignment number on all computer ports automatically resets to 0
(zero), putting the computers in the printer contention mode.
Print Master will save the new number of printers permanently in
non-volatile memory and return to the main configuration menu ( see
Section 7.2.1 ).
