1 – 10 Setting Up
2. Snap the two wire locking tabs on to the plug.
3. Insert the other end of the cable into your computer. You may also
connect it to another peripheral device, such as a disk drive, if your
equipment is designed for daisy chain connection.
4. Turn on the equipment and try the one line BASIC program shown
below, using the proper print statement for your computer (the
example uses LPRINT). Make sure you have paper and ribbon in the
printer.
5. Type: LPRINT “EVERYTHING’S OKAY” and then run the program.
6. Your printer should print this at 10 characters per inch.
Note: If the printer did not print, make sure you entered the program correctly. Some
computers require that you assign a number to the printer and specify that number in
your print statement; for example OPEN # 3 means the printer is on line # 3 to the
computer.
7. Now try this BASIC program (change it, if necessary, to suit your
computer’s requirements):
10 LPRINT “THIS IS LINE ONE”
20 LPRINT “AND THIS IS LINE TWO”
8. The printout should look like this:
THIS IS LINE ONE
AND THIS IS LINE TWO
EVERYTHING’S OKAY
