C-4 Interfaces

Power Line

The printer provides a +5 volts dc power line to drive the logic of an

external device.

Ground Lines

The printer provides fifteen ground lines consisting of a logic ground,

chassis ground, and thirteen signal return grounds.

Cable/Connector Requirements

The parallel connector must be a 36-pin male plug with a metal backshell

(Amphenol 157-32360 or equivalent). The cable must be shielded with

twisted pair leads (Beldon 9505 or equivalent). The parallel cable must

not exceed 10 feet (3 meters). Figure C-2 shows a typical parallel cable

assembly.
