Printer Interfaces
Overview
This chapter describes the host interfaces provided with the printer. The
printer interface is the point where the data line from the host computer plugs
into the printer. The interface processes all communications signals and data
to and from the host computer. The printer interface consists of a printed
circuit board assembly (PCBA) and a cable connector for the data line.
Communication signals and data may be sent over parallel or serial lines.
Each InfoPrint 6500-V printer is equipped with three parallel interface
protocols and two serial interface protocols. Coax and twinax interface
protocols are available as optional features. Each interface is selected via the
operator panel configuration menu. See Chapter 3, “Configuring The Printer.”
The Ethernet interface is also an optional feature. Refer to the
InfoPrint 6500
Line Matrix Printers: Ethernet Interface User's Manual
for more information.
This chapter describes the interfaces provided with the printer. In addition,
instructions are provided for configuration of terminating resistors.
