Installation and Maintenance Standard 3.0 March 1994

You can also configure Meridian Mail to print System Error and Event Re-

ports on the same printer as they are generated. System events and error re-

ports contain information about every system event and error that occurs on

the Meridian Mail system. For more information on the content of SEERs, re-

fer to Meridian Mail—System Event and Error Reports.

Meridian Mail supports two types of printer: the LA75 Plus Companion

Printer; and the HP ThinkJet Printer (NT Personal Printer). If the printer you

are installing is a different model, match its settings with those described in

Table 1-2 on page 1-19 and Figure 1-10 on page 1-20 and use the set-up pro-

cedures described in the printer’s owner’s manual.

ministrator’s terminal using the following cables:

For VT220 terminals

, connect the printer to the H87575-A adapter us-

ing a BC16E-10 cable, and connect the adapter to the port labelled “PR”

using an A0369499 cable.

belled “Printer Port” using a BC16E-10 cable.
