Data Ports
Parallel Port
Parallel Port
When communicating via the parallel port, the values selected must be the same as those used
by the host equipment connected to the printer. Port selection for status information is
determined by the channel sending the request. The parallel port can be set for bidirectional or
unidirectional communication. The default setting is bidirectional.
A standard 36-pin parallel connector (Figure 33) is available on the back of the printer for
connection to the data source.
Figure 33 • Parallel Connector
Table 11 shows the pin configuration and function of a standard computer-to-printer parallel
cable.
