Optional Interfaces
This section describes how to install the optional interface cards
listed below.
❏
To add a direct connection to an Ethernet system, use an
optional Ethernet Card (C823623/C823633).
❏
To add a serial or parallel interface to your printer, use one of
the following:
32KB Serial Interface Card (C823081)
32KB Parallel Interface Card (C823102)
❏
To add a direct connection to an IBM mini or mainframe
system, use one of the following:
Coax Interface Card [C82D45 (SCS)/C82D52 (PDS)]
Twinax Interface Card [C82D50P (SCS and IPDS)]
The coax and twinax connectors each contain a parallel
interface. Since the printer’s built-in parallel interface remains
active, this gives you two parallel interfaces and a coax or
twinax interface. Print jobs can be sent to any connection, and
the printer automatically switches between the active ports.
The twinax interface is compatible with the following IBM
systems: AS-400, System 36, 5251 (model 12), System 34,
System 38, and 5294. When equipped with the EPSON twinax
interface, the printer can be used in place of the following IBM
system printers: 4210, 5224 (models 1 and 2), 5256 (models 1,
2, and 3), 3218 (non IPDS), 4214 (model 2), 5225 (models 1, 2,
3, and 4), and 5219 D01 and D02.
