INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A) CONNECTING THE CABLES!!
1) Connect the printer the the Model 378 using a standard
IBM PC Parallel Cable with DB-25 on one end and Centronics 36-
Pin on the other. Order Patton Part Number 10-15/PC for our 15ft
version.
2) Connect the computers to the Model 378 using standard
DB-25 male to male cables with all 25 conductors wired straight
through. Order Patton Part Number 10-X/25/25MM where X is the
length of the cable.
B) CONFIGURING THE SWITCH.
1) Set the "SCANNING PRIORITY" for Manual, Rotate or
Linear Priority.
a) In "MANUAL" mode, the switch will not automati-
cally scan. You must use the "STEP" button to manually switch
from one port to another.
b) In "ROTATE" mode, each device connected to the
printer has an equal priority, that is after the Model 378 has
received a document it automatically begins scanning again starting
with the next port.
c) In "LINEAR" mode, the port number represents a
priority level where port number one has the highest priority for out-
put to the printer and port number eight has the lowest priority. In
this mode, each time the Model 378 connects to a port for printing it
returns to port one and resumes scanning from there to give priority
in decending order from port number one.
2) Set the "TIME OUT" for 2, 8 or 30 seconds. The "time out"
is the amount of time the scanner waits after receiving its last byte
before it resumes scanning.
3) Turn the "POWER" switch to the "ON" position and your
are ready to operate. Note: Be sure to plug in the 9V wallmount
transformer into a standard power outlet.
