Section 3. Interface Specifications

Interface Types

In order to provide flexibility in communicating with a variety of host computer systems,
CL608e/612e printers use a Plug-In Interface Module. The IEEE1284 Interface module is
shipped with the printer unless another interface type is specified at the time of the order.
The other interfaces available are a high speed (to 57.6K bps) serial interface, an Ethernet
interface or an optional Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface.
The Parallel interface will probably be the most useful in communicating with IBM PCs and
compatibles. The RS232C Serial interface allows connectivity to a number of other hosts.
The USB interface allows the printer to be connected to a computer that supports
peripherals attached to a USB bus.
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect interface cables (or use a switch box) with power
applied to either the host or the printer. This may cause damage to the interface circuitry in
the printer/host and is not covered warranty.
