Introduction
This chapter explains what an interface is, and describes how to con-
nect your printer to a PC via the parallel port and/or the serial port.
Interface
Interface is the point at which two elements connect so they can work
together. Printer-computer interface is the way a printer connects to
and works with a computer (a microcomputer, workstation, minicom-
puter, mainframe computer, or a network), and it involves both hard-
ware and software. The way your printer interfaces with a computer
depends on many things, including computer type, computer ports
available, interface cabling, application software, printer emulations,
and printer drivers.
Optional Interfaces
In addition to the three standard interfaces—Ethernet, parallel, and
serial—you have the option of using one optional interface to connect
your printer to a second Ethernet network, a Token-Ring network, a
single Macintosh, a LocalTalk network, or you can use the optional
interface to connect an optional hard disk.
If you’ve purchased an optional interface for your printer, see chapter
6, “Printer Options,” of
Reference
as well as the documentation that
comes with the interface for installation instructions.
