Interface Specifications

The MultiPASS 1000 is equipped with a standard bi-directional parallel port, which supports the IEEE™ 1284-B standard.

The port on the MultiPASS 1000 enables it to transmit data back and forth to your computer. Therefore, you can send documents from your computer to your MultiPASS 1000 to be printed and faxed (transmitted). Also the MultiPASS 1000 can send scanned documents and received faxes directly to your computer.

The standard bi-directional parallel port does not require a special parallel port on your computer, nor do you need to purchase an interface board. The bi-directional parallel port is compatible with most standard Centronics-type parallel interface ports that come with computers. The parallel interface connector on the MultiPASS 1000 is a standard 36-pin, Amphenol type with two metal-wire retaining clips:

BI-DIRECTIONAL

PARALLEL PORT

You can also use this port as a normal Centronics-type uni- directional parallel port when you use the MultiPASS 1000 as a normal printer.

The interface cable must be constructed of American Wire Gauge (AWG) No. 28 or larger. The maximum length of the twisted-pair, shielded cable must be approximately 6.6 feet (2.0 m).
