Connecting the Printer to a PC Parallel Port

If you are using a parallel port to communicate with the printer, you can
purchase a parallel cable from Intermec (P/N 590124).
To connect your printer to a PC parallel port
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Plug the parallel cable connector into the parallel communications port on
the back panel of the printer.
3. Plug the DB 25-pin cable connector into the 25-socket parallel port on the
PC.

Connecting the Printer to a Network

You can connect the printer to Novell NetWare networks, Token Ring
networks, or TCP/IP networks. To connect the printer to a network, you must
purchase a network interface adapter. Network adapters are listed in Intermec's
Product Links Catalog. The adapters may connect to either serial or parallel
ports depending on the adapter you select. Refer to your network
documentation for more information.

Connecting the Printer to an AS/400

To connect the printer directly to an AS/400 or midrange system, you need
•
a coax/twinax interface adapter card (P/N 063870).
•
a twinaxial cable equivalent to IBM P/N 7362267 or 7362062.
The maximum cable length for the twinax interface is 5000 feet (1525 meters).
If the coax/twinax interface adapter was not installed in the printer at the
factory, you can have the field installable option (P/N 063870) installed in your
printer. Refer to the manual that comes with the interface adapter for more
information on cabling and communications.
Note: If you are using a midrange computer other than the AS/400, refer to your
system documentation for information on cabling and setting up communications.
