Printer Installation
Attach the NPS 630/632 to your printer’s parallel port and make a test
printout:
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Attach the NPS 630/632 to the printer, either directly to the parallel
printer port, or using the optional velcro ribbons and printer cable
extension.
3. Connect the external power supply. The NETWORKindicator will
flash during power-on and self-test. When the indicator stops flashing
and remains unlit, the NPS 630/632 is ready for use.
4. Switch on the printer.
5. Press and hold the test button until the NETWORK indicator starts
to flash, then release the button to print a test page.
The test page shows the software revision and the basic setup of your
NPS 630/632.
Note: The NPS 630/632 supports high-speed Centronics communication such
as Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode. This function is disabled by default, since
some printers support standard Centronics only. To activate high-speed
Centronics, change the Output Menu parameter L1_CENTR to
HISPEED as outlined in Appendix A.
Before you begin:
Make sure that the external power supply is marked with the correct
mains voltage.
