Plug the printer’s power cable into an electrical outlet.
Serial interface
If you have a printer (or another peripheral such as a modem) with a
serial interface, connect it to the serial (RS-232C) port at the back of the
main unit. The Equity III+ uses a DB-9P connector, so be sure you have a
compatible cable (or an adapting cable that converts the 9-pin output to the
standard 25pin output). To connect a serial device, follow the same steps
above for connecting a parallel device.
You need to ensure the serial port is set up so it functions properly. If you
are using the port for a serial printer, you must also redirect printer output to
the serial instead of the parallel port. Use the MS-DOS SETMODE program
(or the MODE command) to make these changes. See your MS-DOS man-
ual for instructions.
The Equity III+ character set
The Equity III+ uses a special character set that assigns graphics and
international characters to some of the ASCII codes. In most cases, if you try
to print these characters on a standard printer, you get italic characters
