5.2 Interface Types
In order to provide flexibility in communicating with a variety of host computer
systems all M-5900RV printers can be furnished with plug-in interface modules
that meet your requirements.
The Centronics Parallel interface will probably be the most useful in
communicating with IBM PCs and compatibles. The RS232C Serial interface
allows connectivity to a number of other hosts. For instructions on how to
properly configure your M-5900RV printer for either of these interface types, see
the Printer Configuration instructions in Section 2 of this manual.
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect interface cables (or use a switch box) with
power applied to either the host or the printer. This may cause damage to the
interface circuitry in the printer/host and is not covered warranty.
