OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

7.1 INTRODUCTION

This section contains details of the optional accessories available for the LM printer:

• Interface boards

• Calendar IC

7.2 AVAILABLE INTERFACE BOARDS

Interface boards enable the printer to exchange data with computers, computer networks and

related input/output devices. By installing a different interface board, you can adapt the LM

printer to fit in a wide range of related equipment and usage scenarios.

At the time of purchase, the LM printer includes ONE interface board of your choice, from the fol-

lowing interface boards available:

¤ Serial interface board (RS-232C)

¤ IEEE 1284 Parallel interface board

¤ High Speed RS-232C

¤ USB 1.1 interface board

¤ 10BaseT/100Base-TX LAN interface board

¤ Wireless LAN IEEE802.11b interface board

Caution

Before installing or removing interface boards, be sure to turn off the printer firs t. Dischar ge stat ic

electricity from your body before touching any of the electronic parts. Failure to observe these

precautions can result in severe damage to the components.
