Using multiple computers
Although the recommended method of printing
from multiple computers to the PT-9500PC is
with the optional PS-9000 Ethernet Print Server,
an alternative method is described below.
The PT-9500PC can be used by multiple
personal computers as a shared printer.
Connect the PT-9500PC to one personal
computer and set it up for common use. The
PT-9500PC can then be used as a network
printer by personal computers in the same
network.
This function can only be used in a Windows
environment.
Changing the baud rate
The serial interface baud rate is set to 115,200
bps at the factory.
When using a personal computer that does not
support a serial port baud rate of 115,200 bps,
change the PT-9500PC baud rate to 9,600 bps.
1
Turn off the PT-9500PC.
2
With the PT-9500PC power off, press the
power button on the PT-9500PC for 5
seconds or more.
→ The ERROR lamp (red) and power
button lamp (green) will flash
alternately.
3
After the lamps flash alternately, release
the power button.
→
The baud rate is now set to 9,600
bps.
