column RFC1213-MIBDisplayString 
Location codes of 00-00-S1-00 or 00-00-S2-0 indicate
the printer or plotter device is connected to the 
standard I/O serial ports s1 or s2.  
A location code of 00-00-0P-00 indicates that the 
parallel printer is connected to the standard I/O 
parallel port 
Any other location code will indicate a printer or 
plotter which is connected to an adapter card other 
than the Standard I/O board. For these printers and 
plotters the location code format is AA-BB-CC-DD
where AA-BB indicates the location code of the 
controlling adapter.  A value of 00 for the AA field 
indicates the adapter card is located in the CPU drawer
or system unit depending on the type of system.
Any other value for the AA field indicates the card 
is located in an I/O expansion drawer; in which case, 
the first digit identifies the I/O bus and the second
digit identifies the slot number on the bus, in the
CPU drawer, that contain the asynchronous expansion 
adapter to which the I/O expansion drawer is connected.
The first digit of this BB field identifies the I/O bus 
containing the adapter card. If the card is in the 
CPU drawer or system unit, this digit will be 0 for 
the standard I/O bus or 1 for the optional I/O bus. 
If the card is in an I/O expansion drawer, this digit
is 0. The second digit identifies the slot number on 
the I/O bus (or slot number in the I/O expansion drawer)
that contains the card.  
The CC field identifies the connector on the adapter 
card to where the asynchronous distribution box is 
connected. Possible values are 01, 02, 03, and 04.
The DD field identifies the port number on the 
asynchronous distribution box where the printer or 
plotter is attached.
