Selecting a Communication Interface

This printer comes with a USB interface, a standard Centronics parallel
interface, and a nine-pin Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial
data interface.

USB Interface Requirements

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is version 2.0 and 1.1 compliant and
provides a full-speed (12Mb/s) interface that is compatible with your existing
PC hardware. The USB's ―plug and play‖ design makes installation easy.
Multiple printers can share a single USB port/hub.

Centronics Parallel Interface Requirements

You can connect the printer to the host computer's parallel port using any
standard Centronics cable. The required cable must have a standard 36-pin
parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the parallel port located
on the back of the printer. The other end of the parallel interface cable
connects to the printer connector at the host computer. For pin-out information,
please refer to the Technical Reference in this manual.

Serial (RS-232) Interface Requirements

The required cable must have a nine-pin "D" type male connector on one end,
which is plugged into the mating serial port located on the back of the printer.
The other end of the cable connects to a serial port on the host computer. For
technical and pin-out information, please refer to the Technical Reference in
this manual.
