Connecting the 4400 to a Network

You can connect the 4400 printer to Novell NetWare networks, Token Ring
networks, or TCP/IP networks. To connect the 4400 printer to a network, you
must have:
a Centronics parallel interface installed in your printer.
a network interface adapter (for example, Ethernet).
If you did not have the interface installed at the factory, you can install the field
installable option (Part No. 056830) in the optional I/O board port of your
printer.
The network interface adapter (for example, Ethernet) connects to the
Centronics parallel interface on the back of the printer. Your network must be
able to use XON/XOFF (hardware handshake) protocol. Refer to your network
documentation for more information.

Connecting the 4400 to an AS/400

To connect a 4400 printer directly to an AS/400 or midrange system, you need:
a twinax adapter card.
a twinaxial cable (equivalent to IBM Part No. 7362267 or 7362062).
The maximum cable length for the twinax interface is 5000 feet (1525
meters).
If you did not have the twinax card installed at the factory, you can install the
field installable option (Part No. 056835) in the optional I/O board port of your
printer.
For help on cabling and communications, see the manual that comes with the
twinax adapter card.
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.

Connecting the 4400 to a Mainframe

To connect a 4400 printer directly to an IBM mainframe, you need:
a coax adapter card.
a coaxial cable (equivalent to IBM Part No. 2577672 or 1833108).
The maximum cable length allowed is 4920 feet (1500 meters). See the IBM
specification Installation and Assembly of Coaxial Cable and Accessories, part
number GA27-2805-4, for further information.
