Connecting the printer

Printer ports

The printer is shipped standard with a bi-directional parallel port and a SCSI
port for interfacing to the optional Phaser Copystation, or an external hard disk
for font storage. In addition, the printer can be configured with optional
networking and serial ports. The printer accepts print jobs from all the data
ports at the same time on a first-come, first-served basis. Refer to "Turning on
the printer" on page 2-22 and "SCSI connections" on page 2-21 for more
information on the SCSI port. For more information on the Phaser Copystation,
refer to the CD-ROM and World Wide Web topics.
The optional, PhaserShare card provides the other printer ports:
The PhaserShare Ethernet card supports Novell NetWare, EtherTalk
and TCP/IP protocols.
PhaserShare Token Ring card supports Novell NetWare, TCP/IP and
TokenTalk protocols.
PhaserShare LocalTalk/serial card provides a LocalTalk port and a
9-pin serial port.
