Interfaces
The NIC interfaces with the host printer through an Ethernet
Two NIC interfaces are available, depending on the type of controller board the printer contains. Some printers use external NICs with dip switches and LEDs that plug into the IEEE 1284 (parallel) interface. Other printers use NICs that plug into the Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) controller boards that have no dip switches or LEDs.
NOTE: If your printer uses both types of NICs, please refer to the External Network Interface Card User’s Manual for more information.
