3.4.2 Connecting via RS-232 output
Note: This does not apply for the ida FS 250 PDS
1. To use the RS-232 port as an output por t you must set function Y24 to 1.
(For further details on programming the ida FS 250, please see the chapter
Programming ida FS 250).
If possible, the serial output device you are connecting has to be set to
Baud rate = 9600, Number of data bits = 8, No parity and 1 Stop Bit to
match the default settings of the box. If this is not possible, you must
change the functions 15, 16, 17 and 18 to match the settings of the serial
output device.
2. The cable you need for connecting the serial output device to the serial
port on the box must be ordered from your point of purchase especially for
the serial output device.
NOTE:
Programming of Functions 15, 16, 17, 18 and 24 is not possible via the
serial port. These functions have to be programmed either via the
twinax port or via the parallel input port.
For full details on the FSL functions (Y functions), see the " 5250
Programmer's Guide; Document No.: D62079.
3. Power on the printer and the ida FS 250.
4. Turn the address switch on the rear panel t o the T-position..
A settings printout will be generated and the CU indicator will start
flashing.
The interface can be set up in many ways. From the factory, the interface
has been set up to cover most needs and uses. Appendix B.: Test Printout
is a sample printout of settings.
Keep the settings printout together with this manual for future reference.
5. If the connection between the printer and the protocol con verter does not
work properly, the reason is probably that the
Y functions 24, 15, 16, 17 and 18 do not match the values of the printer.
