Interfacing Information
A. INTRODUCTION
The CD Color Printer is equipped with both a standard 8-bit
centronics-type parallel interface port and a high-speed serial
interface port. These communication ports are the means
through which the printer receives data from your computer.
This section describes the pin assignments and signal
specifications for each of these ports as well as for the printerÕs
auxiliary interface port.
B. CENTRONICS-TYPE PARALLEL INTERFACE
The Centronics-type parallel interface is the most widely
used printer interface due to its simplicity, speed, and
standardization throughout the computer industry. The
printerÕs parallel interface connector is a standard 36-pin Amp
type with two metal-wire retaining clips. It mates with a
standard computer to printer parallel cable. For best results,
always use a shielded, bi-directional parallel cable which is
less than 6 feet in length.
Pin assignments are as follows:
