Bi-directional (parallel) connection
The bi-directional parallel connection between the printer and a PC requires a
standard 36-pin bi-directional cable (to IEEE 1284 standards). The length of a bi-
directional cable can be up to 10 meters or 30 feet. This interface offers the fastest
communication between a PC and the printer (unless the PC supports Ethernet).
Serial connections
You can connect a PC to the printer by using the RS-422 connection and the
computer’s serial port. In general, this is not recommended, because data is transmit-
ted more slowly than if you connect the parallel port on the PC to the parallel port
on the printer, or use a network. Therefore, printers connected through the serial
port take longer to print. Also, GCC has been unable to locate a supplier of a cable to
connect a PC serial port to the RS-422 socket.
RS-422 serial enables data to travel in either direction between the printer and a
single computer. For an RS-422 serial connection, use an 8-pin serial cable. The RS-
422 interface allows a cable length of up to 300 feet.
Note: You need to configure the printer for Serial communication. The 8-pin serial
submenu, accessed from the printer’s control panel, should be set to RS-422. Local-
Talk is the factory default, so you will need to change the setting. Configure the serial
interface settings. In order for successful serial communications between the printer
and the PC to take place, the configuration of the serial interface of each device must
match.
Ethernet network connection
The Elite XL 20ppm printer includes an Ethernet network interface. The Ethernet
interface on your printer lets you connect to an Ethernet network via two types of
Ethernet cables: 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2.
• 10BASE-T (Unshielded Twisted-Pair or UTP) - Your printer connects to 10BASE-T
Ethernet via the 10BASE-T (RJ-45) connector. The cabling used is Unshielded
Twisted-Pair (UTP).
• 10BASE-2 (RG-58, Thin Coax, or Thinnet) - Your printer connects to 10BASE-2
Ethernet via an optional 10BASE-2 (BNC) AAUI adapter. The cabling used is called
RG-58 or Thin Coax.
