Dataproducts Parallel Interface; Dataproducts Interface Connector Pin Assignments - Printronix L5000 Series Maintenance Manual

Dataproducts Parallel Interface

This interface allows the printer to operate with controllers designed for
Dataproducts printers. The interface is capable of transferring up to 500,000
characters per second. The maximum cable length from the controller (host
computer) to the printer is 15 feet.

Dataproducts Interface Connector Pin Assignments

The printer provides a 36–pin D–shell connector on the right side panel for
connection of a parallel interface cable. This 36–pin connector requires a cable
adapter to convert it to a 50–pin AMP connector for Dataproducts compatibility.
Contact the factory for the adapter (p/n 703316–001). Table F–2 lists the pin
assignments of the Dataproducts cable adapter.
