Interface

Expansion Board

The printer’s standard interface is parallel. The available optional interfaces are serial, LocalTalk, and Ethernet. If your computer cannot use a parallel port for your printer or the location of your printer is distant from the computer, you can use the serial port, LocalTalk port, or Ethernet port of the computer to connect your printer. Fujitsu offers the optional serial interface (RS-232C/422A) board, LocalTalk board, and Ethernet board C for these purposes.

Notice:

When sharing the printer among multiple computers, setting the I/O time-out short may cause a printing problem.
