Centronics to Dataproducts Conversion
Your printer is shipped with a Centronics parallel port, but a kit for
converting it to Dataproducts is available from your QMS vendor.
Make sure you have all the parts necessary for the conversion. The
Dataproducts conversion kit includes the following:
■ An anti-static wristband
■ Two 2-pin shunts (small plastic pieces lined with metal)
■ Two DIP resistors (a 220 ohm and a 330 ohm)
■ Two SIP resistors (not necessary for this procedure)
■ A 50-pin to 36-pin cable
1. Follow the instructions in “Removing the Controller Board”
(earlier in this chapter), being careful to eliminate static
electricity before you begin.
2. Orient the controller board so that the side with the SIMMs is
closest to you and the parallel port is located on your left side.
