Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the Fiery SI can accept print jobs
from a PC-compatible computer or server through its high-speed parallel port. This
connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use
dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.
The parallel port connection is active at the same time as the Ethernet port.
