    You must complete checklist 10 and either checklist 11, 12, or 13, depending on your choice of serial interface. The 4235 LPS receives data from a host computer system through a parallel and serial interface. Only one parallel and one serial interface can run concurrently. For example, you cannot successfully connect the bisynchronous and SNA/SDLC or two parallel interfaces at the same time.

  • Page 68: Parallel Interface Information

    You need to order a Centronics or DataProducts parallel cable to connect your host computer system to the 4235 LPS. If you do not have one, contact your Xerox sales representative to order one. To make sure the cable is available on the day of installation, place the order approximately four weeks prior to the installation date.
  • Page 69 The main control signals are BUSY, SELECT, and FAULT. At power–up, BUSY is at logic one, and SELECT and FAULT are at logic zero. BUSY indicates that the 4235 LPS cannot receive data (normally, BUSY cycles from logic zero to one and back to zero again once for every byte received).
  • Page 70 This name indicates the frame ground. This is the 4235 LPS indicator for a laser printing system fault (for example: paper jam, dry ink out, and so forth). The following pins are not used: 15, 33, 34, 35, 36.

    However, received signals should be recognized as low signals if the voltage is +0.8 V or less. The 4235 LPS interface requires up to –2.6 ma at +2.4 V for a high output signal and requires up to 14 ma for a low output signal.
