Cascaded units power up from the factory in contention mode, which

allows any of the computers connected to a particular unit to contend

for any of the printers connected to that same unit. These computers

will not contend for printers connected to other Print Master units

when in power-up contention mode.

Printer selection is accomplished by sending a printer select

sequence consisting of the Printer Select Code followed by a two-digit

number. This two digit number consists of the desired Unit ID

Number followed by the desired printer port number on that unit.

NOTE: $PRINTER

is the factory default Printer Select Code. Other

codes may be programmed, but all cascaded Print Master units must

be configured to have the same Printer Select Code.

EXAMPLE 1:

If a computer connected to unit number 1 wishes to

print to a printer connected to port 5 of unit number 4, the computer

would send

$PRINTER45.

EXAMPLE 2:

If a computer connected to Unit number 2 wishes to

send data to any printer connected to Unit 3 (contention mode), the

computer would send

$PRINTER30

EXAMPLE 3:

If a computer connected to Unit number 4 wishes to

output data to the printer connected to Port 1 of the same unit, the

computer would send

$PRINTER41
