Connecting a Parallel Printer to a Cluster Box
Each VDC/8P cluster controller on your system can support a parallel printer with a
Centronics interface. Figure 4–17 shows the location of the parallel printer port on
each controller.

Specify any characteristics unique to each printer, such as vertical form unit (VFU)
or tab memory, before connecting the printer to a cluster box. You specify other
characteristics of printers attached to a cluster controller through your operating
system software.
A parallel printer connects to the cluster box with one of the cables listed in
Table 4–4. If your printer requires an adapter, connect the adapter connector/cable
before you attach the cable to your cluster box.
