This printer comes with USB interface, a standard Centronics parallel interface,
and a nine-pin Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data
interface.
USB Interface Requirements
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is version 2.0 and 1.1 compliant and
provides a full-speed (12Mb/s) interface that is compatible with your existing PC
hardware. The USB‟s “plug and play” design makes installation easy. Multiple
printers can share a single USB port/hub.
Centronics Parallel Port
You can connect the printer to the host computer‟s parallel port using any
standard Centronics cable. The required cable must have a standard 36-pin
parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the parallel port located on
the back of the printer. The other end of the parallel interface cable connects to
the printer connector at the host computer. For pin-out information, please refer
to the Technical Reference in this manual.
