Figure B–2 shows typical cable and adapter conﬁgurations for EIA-232 and

EIA-422 interfaces, and the typical cable and adapter conﬁgurations for the

DEClaser 5100 printer.

selection.

• All Digital host systems and DECservers with a built-in DECconnect

interface or built-in OpenDECconnect interface are EIA-422 compatible.

Caution: Damage to the DEClaser 5100 printer might occur if the H8571 or

H8575 adapters are used with the EIA-232 interface protocol.

Figure B–2 shows the H8575-x adapter for use in some conﬁgurations. The

older H8571-x adapters can substitute for the H8575-x.
