Printer Device Numbers


Because the calculator can connect to different devices through simulated peripheral ports, each device has a unique number to identify it. The calculator assumes a particular device number for all printer operations unless you change the number.


Default Device Number

The first time you turn the calculator on, the printer device number defaults to 012, the device number for the PC-324 24-column Printer. The simulated printer provided in the application principally simulates the PC-324 24 column printer.

If you want, you can change the printer behavior to use a different device code. The RPD-95 application supports device 012 for the PC-324 24 column printer, device 016 and device 017 for an 80-column printer, and device 045 for a simple printer interface, also using an 80-column default width.

Changing the Device Number

To select a different printer for use, you must use the INPUT/OUTPUT menu to change the calculator's printer device number before using the printer.

To change the device number:
  1. Determine the device number of the printer you want to use.
  2. Press [ I/O ] { PRT } to select the PRINTER SETUP menu.
    D_zdR9W2
  3. Select { DEV } and enter the device number of your printer.
When you enter the last digit, the new device number becomes active and the PRINTER SETUP menu returns. You can now use the printing functions of the calculator.
