Parallel Interface

Parallel Interface Communication Modes

The printer features fast data transmission with the parallel interface. The parallel interface mode can be activated from the operator panel.

See Parallel Interface Mode on page 1-74.

Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standard.

Note

Auto [default]

The printer automatically changes its communication mode to the one the host computer is currently using.

Nibble (high)

High speed data communication is used in compliance with the IEEE1284 standard. Ordinarily, you should leave this setting unchanged.

Normal

The printer uses the standard communication method prescribed for

Centronics interfaces.

High-speed

This mode enables faster data transmission between the printer and the host computer. (Select this mode if printing problems occur when the printer is connected to a workstation.)

Interface Signals

The pins of the parallel interface connector carry the signals listed in the table in Parallel Connector Pin Assignment on page C-3. Asterisks in the table indicate signals that are active low. The table also indicates whether each signal is incoming or outgoing with respect to the printer.
