Epson EPI-4000 Introduction, IEEE interface board, Serial interface boards, Coax and Twinax interface boards

Introduction

Coax and Twinax interface boards

These two interfaces let you use the EPI-4000 as a local system printer for an IBM® mainframe or minicomputer. You can install the boards quickly and easily inside the printer without any additional hardware.

IEEE interface board

The IEEE-488 interface offers standardized connections, trouble-free operation, and the ability to connect computers, printers, and other devices on the same line to share data freely.

Serial interface boards

These interfaces are required if you need an interface that conforms to the Current Loop standard instead of RS-232C. These interfaces also provide a combination of these features: X-on/X-off data communications protocol and loopback self test modes.
