2.2.2 Connecting the Interface Cable(s)
The printer can be interfaced to your host system via the Ethernet, Parallel, Serial, and USB
ports. Following power-up (or after a period of inactivity) communications will automatically
be established through the first port that receives valid host data.
Once established, communication through another port will only occur after the selectable
Host Time-out period is reached or if printer power is cycled OFF and ON.
;
Unless otherwise noted, refer to Section 4.2.5 for communication setup options.
Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet interface supports several menu-selectable modes. Depending on the length,
the cable should be Category / Type 3 or better. Refer to Appendix F for setup information.
Parallel Connection
The parallel interface supports directional communications. Choose and connect cabling as
follows:
For unidirectional communication, use a Centronics IEEE 1284 cable with a 36-pin
male connector; or,
For bi-directional communication, use an IEEE 1284 Compliant cable with a 36-pin
male connector (and supporting host software).
Serial Connection
The serial interface supports RS-232C, RS-422, and RS-485 communications (see Appendix
C for RS-422/485 details). RS-232C cabling configurations and part numbers are shown
below (contact your reseller for ordering information).
