Parallel Interface Requirements
The required cable (IEEE 1284-compliant is recommended) must
have a standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end, which is
plugged into the parallel port located on the back of the printer. The
other end of the parallel interface cable connects to the printer
connector at the host computer. For pin-out information, refer to
the Reference Technical Information- Interface Specification.
Serial and Parallel Cabling Requirements.
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with
metal or metalized connector shells. This will help to prevent
radiation and reception of electrical noise.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
■Keep data cables as short as possible
■Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
■Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Notes :
1. Using Centronics allows for a much higher speed
communication than the use of a serial.
2. It is not necessary to set the switch or send any command
to select the parallel or serial port. The printer can
automatically detect it.
3. The default settings can be read from the configuration report
