NOTE:
The Lucent Technologies 570 printer is not compatible with the system.
Printer connection varies depending on the printer model, whether the printer is
grounded on the same AC outlet as the control unit, and whether the printer is
within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the control unit. The procedures covered in this chapter
are described below:
■ If the CAT serial printer is used with a CAT and is grounded to the same
AC outlet as the control unit and is
within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the control
unit, refer to ‘‘
Connecting a CAT and Printer on the Same AC Outlet’’.
■ If the CAT serial printer is used with a CAT and is either not grounded to
the same AC outlet as the control unit or is
more than 50 ft. (15.2 m) from
the control unit, refer to ‘‘
Connecting a CAT and Printer on a Different AC
Outlet’’.
■ If the SMDR or CAT printer is within 50 ft. (15.2 m) of the control unit and
is connected to the same 117-V AC branch as the control unit, refer to
‘‘
Connecting a Printer Within 50 Feet (15.2 m)’’.
■ If the SMDR or CAT printer is more than 50 ft. (15.2 m) from the control
unit and is
not connected to the same 117-V AC branch as the control
unit, refer to ‘‘
Connecting a Printer 50 Feet (15.2 m) or More Away’’.
