5 Interfaces

Overview

This chapter describes the host interfaces provided with the printer. The printer interface is the point where the data line from the host computer plugs into the printer. The interface processes all communications signals and data to and from the host computer. Plus, with the Auto Switching feature, you can configure the printer to accept several interfaces at the same time (see “Auto Switching Submenu” on

page 86).

This chapter describes the interfaces provided with the printer.

Standard Host Interfaces:

•Centronics parallel

•IEEE 1284 parallel bidirectional

•High Speed Serial Port (RS-232/RS-422)

NOTE: RS-422 is optional.

Optional Host Interfaces:

•Coax / Twinax

•Dataproducts Long Lines

•Dataproducts parallel

•Ethernet 10/100BaseT

In addition to descriptions for the multi-line interfaces, this chapter also provides instructions for configuration of terminating resistors for the parallel interfaces.
