Dataproducts Parallel Interface Connector Pin
Assignments
The printer provides a 36-pin D-shell connector on the right side
panel for connection of a parallel interface cable. This 36-pin
connector requires a cable adapter to convert it to a 50-pin AMP
connector for Dataproducts compatibility. Contact the factory for the
adapter (p/n 703316-001). The following table lists the pin
assignments of the Dataproducts cable adapter.
