Cable Communications
CAUTION. The power should be turned off
before
connecting or disconnecting the
communications cable.
All QL 320 printers can communicate by cable; the specific ca-
ble supplied with your printer will vary with the host terminal. The
8- pin circular connector on your communications cable plugs into
the serial communications port on the side of the QL 320 printer.
It is keyed to assure correct alignment; do not try to force it if it
does not plug in. The other end of the cable must be plugged into
the host terminal as shown in Figure 10, or to a serial port on a
computer (Figure 11.) Communications between the terminal and
the printer are controlled by the applications running on the termi-
nal and the printer.
