Epson EPI-4000 Using Interface Boards, 4-16Options

Using Interface Boards

Epson offers several optional interfaces you can use to supplement your printer’s built-in parallel and serial interfaces. The table below lists the interface boards currently available for the EPI-4000.

Additional cards may be available later, so you may want to check with your Epson dealer for an updated list.

Interface number	Interface name
#8143	New serial interface
#8148	Intelligent serial interface
#8165	Intelligent IEEE-488 interface
	Coax interface
	Twinax interface

The #8143 and #8148 serial interface boards are required if you need an interface that conforms to the current loop standard instead of RS-232C. These interfaces also provide X-on/X-off data communications protocol and/or loopback self test modes.

The #8165 IEEE-488 interface board provides standardized connections and allows you to connect computers, printers, and other devices to the same line so that they can share data freely.
