Host I/O Interfaces

The printer provides connections on the rear panel for the following host I/O
interfaces:
•Centronics Parallel Interface
•Dataproducts Parallel Interface
•Serial Interface (RS–232 or RS–422)
All three interfaces are active simultaneously. The parameters for each interface
are selected through the control panel via the “Host Interface” menu as described
in Chapter 3, Configuring the Printer.
The location of the interface connectors is shown on 2–22 in Chapter 2, Setting
Up the Printer.
You must supply the interface cable to connect the printer to your host computer.
To facilitate the choice or manufacture of an interface cable for your application,
pin assignments for the Centronics, Dataproducts, and serial interfaces are
provided in this appendix.
