    connecting a printer to a Mazak with serial port

    How do you interact a printer with a mazak? I've got a 1993 Mazak 18M and an old cannon printer with a serial port. I have tried to set the parameters in dv3 but still can't get no connection. does anyone know how to set these parameters?

    You need to know the setting of the printer, usually dip switch settings, test it with the PC serial transmission first.
