XEROX 4235 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
6.
This chapter contains information to help you determine the
proper system configuration for your 4235 Laser Printing System
(LPS). The following checklists are provided:
Checklist 10: Parallel system configuration
Checklist 11: Serial system configuration–SNA/SDLC
Checklist 12: Serial system configuration–asynchronous
Checklist 13: Serial system configuration–bisynchronous.
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. Figure 6–1 shows
the various 4235 LPS interface option choices.
