All S2k machines are netplex. RS232 printer will not work.

You can add a distribution board. The stand offs are in there. You will need some harnesses but a rs232 printer still won't work. What battery are you talking about?

"Netplex Battery"  :arrowthruhead:

Would you mean the green Varta battery on the MPU? :scratch-head_2: :scratch-head_3:

 If so, it's not needed for home use.  :propeller:
