Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the RIP Station 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 the RIP Station with Fiery utilities.
