4.5.3 Connection to parallel printers
A parallel printer is connected to the serial interface port connector X11 on the frame unit via the
Serial-to-Parallel Converter. The converter gets power from the connected devices.
Contact your authorized Datex-Ohmeda distributor for advice on suitable parallel printers.
NOTE: The Serial-to-Parallel Converter, order code 78030 should not be connected to the AS/3 or
CS/3 family monitors. The voltage output on the AS/3 and CS/3 monitors’ serial port would
damage the converter.
