PARALLEL INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS

✒Note

To ensure best quality performance use an IEEE 1284 compliant parallel cable between the printer and your computer. Only IEEE 1284 cables support all of the advanced printing capabilities, like bi-directional communication. These cables will be clearly marked with “IEEE-1284”.

Interface Connector					Printer Side: Amphenol FCN-685J036-L/X or equivalent
						A shielded cable should be used.
