Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the Fiery X2 can
accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This
connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations on dedicated
networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.
The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.
The parallel port cannot be used to connect to the Fiery X2 with Fiery utilities.
