PARALLEL INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS
✒ Note
To ensure
the highest
quality performance,
it is recommended that you
use an IEEE 1284 compliant parallel cable between the printer and your
computer. Only IEEE 1284 cables support all of the advanced printing
capabilities,
such as
bi-directional communication. These cables will be
clearly marked with “IEEE-1284”.
Interface Connector Printer Side: Amphenol FCN-685J036-L/X or equivalent
A shielded cable should be used.
