1.4 IEEE1394 BOARD (FIREWIRE)

1.4.1 OVERVIEW

An IEEE1394 interface board is available as an option for this machine to provide
high speed connectivity through what is commonly called Firewire or i.LINK (Sony).
Some important advantages of Firewire are:
• High speed data transmission at 400 Mbps.
• Easier connectivity (many devices can be connected without a host).
• Devices in a computer can be connected to external devices on a shared bus.
IEEE1394 supports two printing methods: 1) SCSI Print, and 2) IP Over 1394. IP
Over 1394 supports printing by setting an IP address, and SCSI supports printing
without an IP address.

SCSI Printing
NOTE: 1) Windows Me and Windows XP support IP over 1394.
2) Windows XP and 2000 support IEEE1394 SCSI printing.
⇒
3) Macintosh OS8 and OS9 do not support printing over the Firewire
interface.
