3. Computer Connections
The printer comes with a standard Centronics parallel interface,
and a nine-pin Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232
serial data interface.
Connecting the Printer
1. You can connect the printer with any standard Centronics
cable to the parallel port of the host computer.
2. Alternatively you can connect the printer with a serial cable to
the RS232C port of your computer or terminal. (for PC
compatibles, the RS232C port is COM1, COM2 or COM3.)
Note:
Using Centronics allows for a much higher communication
speed than the use of a serial.
