Choosing and Setting Up
Optional Interfaces
This appendix summarizes the Epson interfaces compatible with the
LQ-800 and LQ-1000 printers and gives instructions for installing
internally mounted interface boards.
Compatible Interfaces
You can use a number of optional interfaces with the LQ-800 and
LQ-1000, which supplement the built-in parallel and serial interfaces.
These fall into three categories.
l
Serial interfaces, which allow connection to a large range of com-
puters without a parallel interface.
l
IEEE-488 and other special interfaces, which allow connection to
computers with other interface requirements (in some cases these
are installed on the computer rather than the printer).
l
Buffer interfaces, which provide a larger data buffer to release the
computer for other tasks when printing large amounts of text.
The following Epson interfaces are compatible with the LQ-800 and
LQ-1000 printers, although some of these are no longer available.
