CONNECTING THE PRINTER
TO YOUR COMPUTER
Your printer has a Centronics parallel interface and an RS-232C serial
interface. The parallel interface connector has wire clips. The serial
interface connector has tapped holes. Cables for both interfaces are
available from dealers, cable manufacturers, and other suppliers. For
detailed interface specifications, see Appendix D.
This printer communicates with the interface from which it first
receives data. The interface is active until the input buffer becomes
empty.
For detailed interface selection, see the section Hardware items and
options in Chapter 5.
Selecting a Parallel Interface Cable
For the parallel interface, use a cable that meets the following specifica-
tions:
√
At the printer end, use a shielded male Centronics connector,
such as an Amphenol DDK 57FE-30360 or its equivalent. To
prevent RFI (radio frequency interference), the connector cover
must be connected to the cable shield.
√
At the computer end, most computers (including IBM PCs)
require a male DB-25P connector. Some computers, however,
require a Centronics connector. To determine the type of
connector your computer uses, refer to your computer user
manual.
√
Make sure that the cable length does not exceed 3 meters
(10␣feet).
Selecting a Serial Interface Cable
For the serial interface, use a cable that meets the following specifica-
tions:
√
At the printer end, use a 25-pin male connector, such as a
Cannon DB-25P or its equivalent.
√
To determine the type of connector your computer requires,
refer to your computer user manual or ask your dealer.
