This printer comes with both a nine-pin Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data interface and an IEEE 1284 bi-directional parallel data interface. In either case, you must supply the required interface cable for your application.

CAUTION: This printer complies with FCC “Rules and Regulations,” Part 15, for Class B Equipment, using fully shielded six-foot data cables. Use of longer cables or unshielded cables may increase radiated emissions above the Class B limits.

Refer to Figure 6 on page 8.

The required cable must have a 9-pin “D” type (DB-9P) connector (male) on one end, which is plugged into the mating (DB-9S) connector (female) located inside the access opening on the left side of the printer.

The other end of the signal interface cable connects to a serial port at the host computer. This cable is one of two types — standard or null modem

— depending on the specific interface requirements.

For pinout information, as well as information on how to interconnect to either a DTE (data terminal equipment) or DCE (data communication equipment) device, refer to the “Appendix” on page 67.

Refer to Figure 6 on page 8.

An IEEE 1284 compatible bi-directional parallel data cable is required when this communication method is selected. The required cable must have a standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the mating connector located inside the access opening on the left side of the printer. The parallel interface cable is connected using bail clips instead of screws.
