B 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 ªHost Interfaceº 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.
