Your printer is equipped with two standard data interfaces:
> Parallel: for direct connection to a PC. This port requires a bi-directional (IEEE 1284
compliant) parallel cable.
> USB: for connection to a PC running Windows 2000 or above. This port requires a
shielded cable 5m long conforming to USB version 2.0.
The following interfaces are available as optional accessories and are described in their
accompanying installation documentation:
> RS232 Serial interface
> 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network connection
NOTE
> This Interface default is set to Auto Interface see “Host Interface” on
page 53. The Auto Interface function will enable the printer to receive
data from the computer even when all the interfaces i.e. the Parallel, USB
and the optional Network or Serial interfaces are connected at the same
time. You can also select an individual interface to connect to the printer.
> Interface cables are not supplied with your printer.
NOTE
Refer to the Network Guide for setting up the network connection.
