XEROX 4219/MRP AND 4215/MRP INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
B.
The Xerox 4219/MRP and 4215/MRP Mid Range Systems Printers
are delivered standard with the following interfaces:
IBM coax or twinax
•
RS232C serial
•
Centronics parallel.
•
The 4219/MRP or 4215/MRP supports simultaneous
communication; that is, the printer can receive data on all
interfaces simultaneously.
You must supply the interface cable to connect the printer to
your host computer system. Shielded signal cables must be used
with this equipment to maintain compliance with FCC
regulations.
If you select a coaxial interface, the coax interface card is
plugged in to the printer motherboard. The card is configured to
your specifications by your Xerox service representative when the
printer is installed. The side panel of the coax network interface
card includes a coaxial connector, a parallel port, a CU LED, and
a test button. Also located on the network interface card is a
connector for the installation of an optional IPDS (Intelligent
Printer Data Stream) module. Figure B-1 illustrates the rear view
of the coax card.

You should never attempt to remove the card from the printer
motherboard. The coax interface card also includes jumpers
that your Xerox service representative will use to set the default
page size and printer language you select.
