Minimark Print Driver - Brady MiniMark User Manual

Parallel Interface Requirements
The required cable (IEEE 1284-compliant is recommended) must have a
standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the
parallel port located on the back of the printer. The other end of the
parallel interface cable connects to the parallel connector on the host
computer.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
■Keep data cables as short as possible (6ft. [1.83m] recommended).
■Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
■Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Notes :
1. Using Centronics allows for a much higher speed
communication than the use of a serial.
2. It is not necessary to set the switch or send any command to
select the parallel or serial port . The printer can automatically
detect it.
3. A normal USB cable is used if USB port is selected.
