Built-in Interfaces

HP Parallel
The parallel port is compatible with the Centronics® interface as implemented by
Hewlett-Packard. It supports a bi-directional register model interface. An 8-bit parallel,
synchronous interface is used. The Series 700 Scanjet interfaces are not supported.
A high density micro D-sub connector is used for the HP Parallel interface. An HP
A4300A conversion cable is required to convert to standard PC compatible 25-pin female
D-sub.
Table 2-7 lists the technical information for the HP Parallel interface.
Figure 2-4 shows the HP parallel connector.
