Chapter 5. Printer Interfaces
Overview
This section describes the host interfaces provided with the printer. The printer
interface is the point where the data line from the host computer plugs into the
printer. The interface processes all communications signals and data to and from
the host computer. The printer interface consists of a printed circuit board
assembly (PCBA) and a cable connector for the data line. Communication signals
and data may be sent over parallel or serial lines.
Each InfoPrint 6500 printer is equipped with three parallel interface protocols and
two serial interface protocols. Coax and Twinax interface protocols are available as
optional features. Each interface is selected via the operator panel configuration
menu. See Chapter 3, "Configuring the Printer," on page 19.
The Ethernet interface is also an optional feature. Refer to the Ethernet Interface
User's Manual for more information.
This section describes the interfaces provided with the printer. In addition,
instructions are provided for configuration of terminating resistors.
