AGILE 5250 OPTIMA User’s Guide and ReferencePage 1-12
Due to the OPTIMAs internal port priority system, if connecting a single
serial printer to the 5250 OPTIMA, it should be connected to SERIAL I/O
PORT 1. If connecting two serial printers to the OPTIMA, the printers may
be connected to either of the OPTIMAs two serial ports.
Connecting the First Printer via Serial
The first (and perhaps only) serial printer connected to the 5250 OPTIMA
should be connected via the OPTIMAs SERIAL I/O PORT 1. The cable
necessary to connect SERIAL I/O PORT 1 to a printer may be ordered
from AGILE.
SERIAL I/O PORT 1 has a DB-9 connector that is compatible with the
serial ports found on IBM PC/AT and PS/2 computers. If the SERIAL I/O
PORT 1 output cable was not ordered from AGILE, a cable designed to
interface such a computer with the printer may be used instead.
To connect the printer to the OPTIMA:
1. Insert the DB-25 device end of the serial printer cable into the
connector on the rear of the printer.
2. Tighten the thumbscrews until the connection is firm, but do not
overtighten.
