settings (the HP MIO printer’s) or be over written from the system and
cause formatting problems (see Chapter 5 Front Panel Setup).
1.4. How the ida 812-1x MIO Works
The ida 812-1x MIO works using 26 internal Setup Func tions. These
setup functions are downloaded as special commands from your IBM
system. The ida 812-1x MIO interface intercepts these commands
and uses them for its own internal setup.
Chapter 6, Function Selection via the Line is a brief description of
these commands and is mainly intended for users already familiar
with i-data products. For more detailed information on the settings
used in the ida 812-1x MIO, please refer to the "ida 812-1x PCL
Platform, Programmer's Guide" (Document No. D62026).

Installing the ida 812-1x MIO Interface
Before you start the installation, make sure that the kit is complete. It
should contain the following items:
•ida 812-1x MIO interface
•Auto-terminating T-cable
•"ida 812-1x MIO, Operator's Guide";
Document No. D60222 (electronic format)
•"ida 812-1x MIO, Quick Guide";
Document No. D10222 (hardcopy format)
CAUTION:
The interface can be damaged by static discharge. To
prevent this damage, the interface comes wrapped in
an antistatic bag.
When you remove the interface from the bag and
when you install it, hold the interface by the edges
only. Do not touch the components or connections.
Do not throw away the antistatic bag. If the interface is
removed from the printer later, it should be kept in the
antistatic bag.
2.1. DIP Switch Language Selection
The ida 812-1x MIO interface holds a DIP switch bank for language
selection. The DIP switches must be set before the interface is
installed and the setting must match the setting used by the system.
