DISCUSSION The problem is most likely in the serial cable that connects the PC to the DB-9 port of the LaserWriter Pro 630. If the pinouts are not correctly mapped, then the printer behaves as you described ðð flash the green ready light and not print the startup page. Here are the pinout requirements for the cable: IBM PC/AT LaserWriter DB-9 DB-9 --------- ----------- (RXD) 2 -------------- 3 (TXD) (TXD) 3 -------------- 2 (RXD) (DTR) 4 -------------- 6 (DSR) (SG) 5 -------------- 5 (SG) (DSR) 6 -------------- 4 (DTR) In terms of the communications settings, we would suggest thumbwheel switch setting #9 on the LaserWriter Pro 630. It's default parameter set is for PostScript serial 9600, n,8,1,XON/XOFF, binary. Support Information Services |
