Interfaces

Your printer supports the following interface cards:
CrownNet for Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX (TCP/IP, NetWare, Ether-
talk, LAN Manager/LAN Server) for an additional CrownNet for Ethernet
connection
CrownNet for Token-Ring (TCP/IP, NetWare, LAN Manager/LAN Server)
Crown for DECnet-TCP/IP
You can install one of these interface cards in addition to the two standard
interfaces—parallel and CrownNet for Ethernet (TCP/IP, NetWare, Ethertalk,
LAN Manager/LAN Server). The printer’s Simultaneous Interface Operation
(SIO) allows all of these interfaces to be active at the same time. In other
words, your printer can simultaneously communicate through all th ree ports
with three hosts, either computers or networks.
If installing a Token-Ring optional interface card, see the “Noti c es” section in
the
Installation Guide
for FCC compliance classification information.
