Overview

The printer interface is the point where the data line from the host computer plugs into the printer. The interface processes all communications signals and data to and from the host computer. It consists of a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and a connector for the data cable from the host computer. Communication signals and data may be sent over Ethernet, parallel, or serial lines.

When data is sent through multiple interfaces, the Autoport Switching feature forces the printer to automatically switch between the serial and parallel port and between the Ethernet adapter and the serial port when the LineJet Print Server is installed.

This chapter describes the following interfaces provided with the printer.

•Centronics

•Bi-Tronics

•RS-232 serial

•RS-422 serial

Note	If you require a parallel interface, contact your Hewlett-Packard Customer
	Service Engineer.
