Optional Interface Cards

You can use optional interface cards to supplement your printer’s built-in serial and parallel interfaces. If you don’t know whether you need an optional interface or if you want to know more about interfaces, contact your Epson dealer.

Note:

Your printer has an auto interface selection feature that allows you to connect to more than one interface at a time. See the section on using automatic interface selection in Chapter 3.

Coax and twinax interfaces enable the printer to communicate with an IBM minicomputer or mainframe via coax or twinax protocol. This allows Epson printers to function as local IBM printers without the addition of any other circuitry or components.

The following Epson interfaces are compatible with your printer. Not all of these interfaces are available in all countries.
