Setting DIP Switches
Each 5824 connected to a compatible FACP
requires an ID number which is set using the
DIP switches on the 5824 circuit board. Refer to
Figure 3 to see how to position the DIP switches
for the desired ID number. See the FACP
installation manual for specific information on
device ID assignments.
You need to provide either a pass-through 9-pin
serial cable or a 25-pin-to-Centronics® parallel
cable to connect the 5824 to the printer. Using
the appropriate printer cable, connect the cable
to the serial or parallel port on the 5824, and then
connect it to the printer.
For More Information
This document is for quick reference. For more
