5 Interfaces
Overview
This chapter describes the host interfaces provided with the printer. The
printer interface is the point where the data line from the host computer
plugs into the printer. The interface processes all communications
signals and data to and from the host computer. Plus, with the Auto
Switching feature, you can configure the printer to accept several
interfaces at the same time (see “Auto Switching Submenu” on
page 220).
This chapter describes the interfaces provided with the printer.
Standard Host Interfaces:
• Centronics parallel
• IEEE 1284 parallel bidirectional
• High Speed Serial Port (RS-232/RS-422)
Optional Host Interfaces:
• Coax / Twinax
• Dataproducts Long Lines
• Dataproducts parallel
• Ethernet 10Base-T
• Ethernet 10Base2
In addition to descriptions for the multi-line interfaces, this chapter also
provides instructions for configuration of terminating resistors for the
parallel interfaces.
