Printer Status
This function can be a very valuable tool when printers are connected using the Serial Interface. If there is a problem communicating with the printer, an error message is displayed. By default, Printer Status is disabled for Printronix printers. To enable Printer Status, you must first enable “One Char Enquiry” on the printer via the menu controls, and then uncheck the “Disable Status Checking” check box in the device Connection dialog box in Loftware.
Interface Cables (Parallel, Serial and USB)
Parallel Interface - Using a standard parallel cable, plug the hardware license key into an LPT parallel port, and connect the cable between the key and the printer.
Serial Interface - For all Printronix printers, use an RS232-C null modem cable. The hardware license key is not part of the serial interface since it must always be plugged into an LPT parallel port.
USB Interface (standard or optional interface) - Use a standard USB cable between the printer and PC (or server), and plug in either a USB or Parallel hardware license key to one of the other ports on the computer.
