Computer Connections

This printer comes with USB interface, a standard Centronics parallel interface,

and a nine-pin Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data

interface.

USB Interface Requirements

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is version 2.0 and 1.1 compliant and

provides a full-speed (12Mb/s) interface that is compatible with your existing PC

hardware. The USB’s “plug and play” design makes installation easy. Multiple

printers can share a single USB port/hub.

Centronics Parallel Port

You can connect the printer to the host computer’s parallel port using any

standard Centronics cable. The required cable must have a standard 36-pin

parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the parallel port located on

the back of the printer. The other end of the parallel interface cable connects to

the printer connector at the host computer. For pin-out information, please refer

to the Technical Reference in this manual.
