Fujitsu DL3750+/3850+ manual Connecting the Printer, To Your Computer

SETTING UP

CONNECTING THE PRINTER	Your printer supports one of the following interface options:
TO YOUR COMPUTER	•	Centronics parallel interface only
	•	Centronics parallel interface+RS-232C serial interface
	•	Centronics parallel interface+USB (+LAN) interface
	The RS-232 serial interface is a factory-installed option for a Centronics
	parallel interface model. Installation of the serial option provides a dual
	interface feature enabling the connection of either interface but inhibiting the
	operation of both interfaces at the same time.
	The parallel interface connector has wire clips. The serial interface connector
	has tapped holes. Cables for these interfaces are available from dealers, cable
	manufacturers, and other suppliers.
	The LAN card is a user installable option. For details, see Chapter 8 or refer to
	the Online Manual that comes with the LAN card.
	For detailed interface specifications, see Appendix D.
	Selecting a Parallel Interface Cable
	For the parallel interface, use a cable that meets the following specifications:
	√	At the printer end, use a shielded male Centronics connector, such as
		an Amphenol DDK 57FE-30360 or its equivalent. To prevent RFI
		(radio frequency interference), the connector cover must be connected
		to the cable shield.
	√	At the computer end, most computers (including IBM PCs) require a
		male DB-25P connector. Some computers, however, require a
		Centronics connector. To determine the type of connector your
		computer uses, refer to your computer user manual.
	√	Make sure that the cable length does not exceed 3 meters (10 feet).

Selecting a Serial Interface Cable

For the serial interface, use a cable that meets the following specifications:

√At the printer end, use a 25-pin male connector, such as a Cannon DB- 25P or its equivalent.

√To determine the type of connector your computer requires, refer to your computer user manual or ask your dealer.

√The cable length can be up to 15 meters (50 feet). This type of length is required in many networking and shared-printer configurations.
