USB Interface Requirements
Universal Serial Bus (version 1.1) provides a high-speed interface that is
compatible with your existing PC hardware. USB’s “plug and play” design
makes installation easy. Multiple printers can share a single USB port/hub.
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 pinout information, refer to page 44.
Ethernet Interface Requirements
Ethernet provides a powerful networking capability that can be of use in a
variety of internet/intranet printing solutions. After you load media and
close the top cover, you can press the test button next to the connector on
the rear of the printer to get an ethernet configuration label.
Serial Interface Requirements
The standard cable must have a nine-pin “D” type (DB-9P) male connector
on one end, which is plugged into the mating (DB-9S) serial port located on
the back of the printer.
There is an optional serial interface that uses a 6-pin RJ-11 male connector
on one end, which is plugged into the mating RJ-11 alternative serial port
located on the back of the printer.
The other end of the signal interface cable connects to a serial port at the
host computer. Depending on the specific interface requirements, this will
most likely be a straight-through cable.
