Computer Connection; Centronics Parallel Interface - Intermec EasyCoder PC41 User Manual

Chapter 2 — Installation

Computer Connection

The EasyCoder PC41 has a 36pin female Centronics connector for the
parallel interface port, and a DB-9pin female connector for the RS-232
serial interface port. You can have cables connected to both ports simul-
taneously, but only one can be used at a time.

Centronics Parallel Interface

If you intend to use the Intermec InterDriver or any version of Intermec
LabelShop, connect the parallel communication cable delivered between
the printer's Centronics interface connector and the parallel port of your
PC (LPT1).
The parallel interface can also be used for programming the printer using
the IPL protocol described in the IPL Programmer's Reference Manual.
However, information from printer to host cannot be transmitted since
the parallel interface is one-way (host-to-printer) only.
