Connecting the PT-1S impact printer

The PT-1S impact printer can be connected to an EST3 panel to provide a hard copy printout of system status, active events, panel reports, etc. The PT-1S is a 80-character line width, freestanding printer that uses standard form feed paper.

When connecting the PT-1S impact printer by itself:

• Configure the serial port as a Printer port type and set the baud rate for the printer’s baud rate.

• Set printer switches SW1-1, -2, and -3 to OFF, ON, and ON, respectively (8 bits, no parity).

When connecting the PT-1S impact printer to a serial port that is shared with a CDR-3 Zone Coder:

• Use an IOP3A to connect both devices. Refer to the topic

“Connecting a CDR-3 Zone Coder for coded tone output” later in this chapter.

• Configure the panel’s serial port as a CDR-3/Printer port type and set the baud rate for the CDR-3’s baud rate.

• Set printer switches SW1-1, -2, and -3 to OFF, OFF, and

ON, respectively (8 bits, even parity). These are the factory settings.

• Set printer switches SW2-1, -2, and -3 to match the baud rate set on the CDR-3 zone coder.
