GDI Printer Feature

Connecting to Your PC

As stated above, you can use either a serial port or parallel port for the GDI printer function. A serial cable comes with the 2002, but if you decide to use the parallel port, you must purchase a parallel cable. To comply with ECM (RFI-EMI) requirements, this parallel cable should not exceed 6’7” (2 meters), and should have a high-quality shield.

Verify that the parallel cable you are use conforms to the pinout specifications listed below:
