Appendix B
Interface Cable
Cables and Connectors
This appendix is designed to help you make a cable to connect your printer
to your computer. Please do not attempt to make a cable unless you have
experience in doing so. In this section we explain the signals from the
printer end; you should read your computer documentation to determine
the requirements at the computer end.
Parallel Cable

with the following:
• Amphenol 57-30360 or AMP 552274-1 plug (or equivalent) with 36
pins.

• Beldon (or equivalent) shielded cable, maximum 1.8 metres with twisted-
pair conductors. It must be UL and CSA (equivalent to European standards)
approved.

into the back.
