In order to complete this configuration, you will require the following information and/or resources:
mvBase must be properly installed and authorized on the system which will host the serial printer. Access to TCL from the SYSPROG account may be required, so you may need to start an mvTerm session.
You require the operational printer and cable with manufacturer-supplied documentation.
You require the printer type and model number.
You must know the printer’s baud rate(s) and parity used.
The baud rate establishes the speed of the transmission in bits per second. Both the printer and the communications line must be set to the same baud rate.
You must know the printer’s buffer size, if any.
You must know the protocols supported (X-ON, DTR, etc.) by the printer.
You should be aware of desired or required printer options that are unique to your serial printer.
