Gemini is designed to accommodate either type of interface. |

Figure 4-1. The Gemini printers are provided with the parallel interface as standard equipment, with a serial interface available as an option.
The parallel interface is incorporated in the same printed circuitboard(PCB) as the contdcircuitboard. The optional serial interface board is constructed to be attached directly to the PCB and to fully reside within the body of the printer. If your system requires a serial interface, contact your Gemini dealer for purchase of the Gemini
In the following section, we will discuss the parallel interface. But first, let’s consider the DIP switches - where are they, what are they, and what do they do? So turn your printer around, and let’s look at the back.
