PARALLEL INTERFACE

User's Manual
INTERFACE INFORMATION
This printer can communicate with a computer
through either a Centronics parallel interface or
an RS-232C serial interface.
This appendix provides information you may need for wiring your
own interface cables or for programming computer-to-printer commu-
nications. Most users do not need the information in this appendix. To
simply connect your printer to your computer, follow the instructions
in Chapter 2.
The Centronics interface is the industry-standard parallel interface.
The cable connector at the printer side should be a shielded,
Amphenol DDK 57FE-30360 or equivalent.
The connector pin assignments are given in the table that follows. In
the table:
• "Input" denotes a signal from the computer to the printer.
• "Output" denotes a signal from the printer to the computer.
• The return lines specified in the second column represent
twisted pairs, with one side connected to signal ground.
• The standard signal levels are 0.0 to +0.4 V (low), and +2.4 to
+5.0 V (high).
