The Printer port can be configured while the HSM is in online, offline or secure state.
The user is invited to select either serial printer (connected to the auxiliary port) or parallel printer (connected to the printer port). If Parallel printer is selected then there are no other parameters. If Serial printer is selected then the settings for the auxiliary port must be selected. Note that the auxiliary port can also be configured using the CA (Configure Auxiliary) command; any previous settings are overwritten.
