Parallel Interface Requirements
The required cable (IEEE 1284-compliant is recommended) must have a standard 36-pin
parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the parallel port located on the back of
the printer. The other end of the parallel interface cable connects to the printer connector at
the host computer. For pinout information, refer to the Reference Technical Information-
Interface Specification. Serial and Parallel Cabling Requirements.
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with metal or metalized
connector shells. Shielded cables and connectors are required to prevent radiation and
reception of electrical noise. To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
•
Keep data cables as short as possible (6 [1.83m] recommended).
•
Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
•
Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Notes :
1. Using Centronics allows for a much higher speed communication than the use of a
serial.
2. It is not necessary to set the switch or send any command to select the parallel or serial
port . The printer can automatically detect it.
3. The default settings can be read from the configuration report.
