Setup guide

Using the Serial Interface
If you have a printer, a modem, or other peripheral device with
a serial interface, you can connect it to the serial (BS-232C) port
on the back of the computer.
The serial port uses a DB-9P connector, so be sure you have a
compatible cable. To connect a serial device, follow the same
steps as above for connecting a parallel device, but insert the
connector into the serial port, marked with the icon shown
below.
Note
You need to ensure that the serial port is set up so it
functions properly. If you are using the port for a serial
printer, you need to redirect printer output to the serial port
instead of the parallel port. If you using MS-DOS, you can
do this with the MODE or SETMODE commands. See your
MS-DOS manual for instructions.
