Connecting the cables

You must provide the necessary interface cables.Three power cords (North America/Japan, Europe Continental, and Australia) are included. If you will be using the printer outside these areas, you may need to purchase a power cord.

Standard communication ports are provided. Which ones are active depends on whether you have the 8650 Color Printer or the 8650 PS Color Printer. Ethernet ports will be in place if the optional Network Interface Card is installed.

parallel port (PostScript or Raster

printing)

LocalTalk port (PostScript printing

only)

Ethernet port (if optional Network Interface Card is installed) (PostScript or Raster printing)

SCSI II ports (Raster printing only)

power cord inlet

The Centronics (Female) parallel port can be used for printing when the printer is in PostScript or raster mode.

The Mini Din 9-pin (Female) LocalTalk port can be used for printing when the printer is in PostScript mode.

The Submini 50-pin (Female) SCSI II ports can be used for printing when the printer is in raster mode, and for SCSI disk drive connections when the printer is in PostScript mode. A 50–pin submini SCSI II terminator is included with the printer.

Ethernet 10BaseT (RJ45) and 10Base2 (BNC) ports are active in both PostScript and raster mode if the optional Network Interface Card is installed.

If the optional Network Interface Card is installed, Ethernet cabling is used. Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide for the KODAK Network Interface Card.
