Appendix C
Interfacing
This appendix will help you design a SHIELDED interface cable
that connects your printer to your computer. This requires some
knowledge of electronics signals, wiring, soldering, and crimping
to be designed properly.
lf you are not technically minded, we recommend that you purchase
a SHIELDED interface cable from your dealer.
Parallel Interfacing
The printer requires a Centronics-equivalent parallel cable with
the following:
The cable MUST be shielded.
Amphenol 57-30360 or AMP 552274-1 plug (or equivalent) with
36 pins
AMP 552073-1 (or equivalent) cover
Beldon (or equivalent) SHIELDED cable with twisted pair
conductors. It cannot exceed 1.8 metres in length and must be
UL and CSA approved.
