Parallel Interface Specifications
2Note
· To ensure best quality performance use an IEEE 1284 compliant parallel cable
between the printer and your computer. Only IEEE 1284 cables support all of
the advanced printing capabilities, like bi-directional communication. These
cables will be clearly marked with “IEEE-1284”.
· We recommend to use a parallel cable that is 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) or less.
Interface Connector Printer Side: Amphenol 57RE-40360-730B (D12)
or equivalent
A shielded cable should be used.
