Host Interface - Printronix P5000 Series Setup Manual

HOST INTERFACE

IMPORTANT
The printer will not print unless the type of interface selected from the
Host Interface Menu matches the type of interface in your host
computer. The interface in your host computer is the one that connects
to the data cable of the printer. For example, if the interface in your
computer is a serial interface, then the serial interface must be selected
from the Host Interface Menu in the printer.
INTERFACE
(see page 104)
The Host Interface Menu enables you to select and configure one of these
types of interfaces between the printer and your host computer:
•
Serial RS-232 (factory default) / Serial RS-422
•
Centronics Parallel
•
Dataproducts Parallel
•
IEEE-1284 Bidirectional Parallel
The currently selected interface is indicated with an asterisk on the control
panel message display. Each interface has its own submenu, with the set of
associated interface parameters that you may configure. The host interface
and its associated parameters control the interface between the printer and
your host computer. Diagrams and descriptions follow for each of the host
interface submenus.
