Connecting the Printer to a PC Parallel Port

If you are using a parallel port to communicate with the printer, you need:
•
a Centronics parallel interface installed in the printer.
•
a parallel cable to run between the printer and the PC.
If you did not have the parallel interface installed at the factory, you can install
the field installable option (Intermec Part No. 056830) in the optional I/O board
port of your printer. You can purchase a parallel cable from Intermec (Part No.
051211) or from your local computer store.
To connect your printer to a PC parallel port
1. Turn the On/Off switch to the off position.
2. Plug the Centronics cable connector into the interface adapter port on the
back of the 3240 printer.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into a parallel port on the PC.

Connecting the 3240 to a Network

You can connect the 3240 printer to Novell NetWare networks, Token Ring
networks, or TCP/IP networks. To connect the 3240 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 parallel interface installed at the factory, you can install
the field installable option (Intermec 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.
