4. Interface Specifications

4.1 Overview

This section explains the interface specifications for the printer.

These specifications include detailed information on how to prop-

erly interface your printer with your host system, and includes data

about the following:

• Interface Types

• Using The Receive Buffer

• RS232C Serial Interface

• Centronics Parallel Interface

• Accessory (Ext) Connector

4.2 Interface Types

In order to provide flexibility in communicating with a variety of host

computer systems, all printers can be configured for operation with

either parallel or serial data transfers. Both a parallel Centronics or

a serial RS232 interface are supplied with the standard printer.

The Centronics Parallel interface will probably be the most useful

in communicating with IBM PCs and compatibles. The RS232C

Serial interface allows connectivity to a number of other hosts. For

instructions on how to properly configure the printer for either of

these interface types, see the printer configuration instructions in

Section 3 of this manual.

WARNING: Never connect or disconnect interface cables or

use a switch box with power applied to either the

host or the printer. This may cause damage to the

interface circuitry in the printer/host and is not

covered by warranty.
