Using the Parallel Interface
This appendix describes how you connect your ES-300C scanner to
an IBM compatible computer. You connect the scanner using the
bidirectional parallel connector on the back panel of the scanner.
The scanner’s bidirectional parallel interface requires a compatible
type of interface on your computer. If you have an IBM compatible
computer, you must install the optional bidirectional interface board
in the computer.
To install the bidirectional parallel interface board in your
computer, follow the instructions in your computer’s
documentation for installing optional interface boards (or cards).
Note: If you have an IBM PS/2™ computer, you can connect the
scanner directly to its bidirectional parallel printer interface with
a suitable shielded cable.
Setting Jumpers on the Bidirectional Parallel Interface Board
The bidirectional parallel interface board is specifically designed to
connect the Epson ES-300C scanner to an IBM compatible computer.
This board provides scanner control capability through bidirectional
input and output, allowing the high speed transmission of data.
Two sets of jumper pins are located on the board. These jumpers
allow you to configure the parallel interface port.
