Centronics to Dataproducts

Conversion

Your printer is shipped with a Centronics parallel port, but a kit for
converting it to a Dataproducts interface is available from your QMS
vendor.

Make sure you have all the parts necessary for the conversion. The
Dataproducts conversion kit includes

n An anti-static wristband
n Two 2-pin shunts (small plastic pieces lined with metal)
n Two DIP resistor packs (a 200 ohm adn a 330 ohm)
n Two SIP resistor packs (not necessary for this procedure)
n A 50-pin to 36-pin cable

1 Follow the instructions in “Removing the Tray Assembly”

(earlier in this chapter), being careful to follow directions for

eliminating static before you begin.

2 Place the two shunts on the two jumpers (JP3 and JP4) near-

est the parallel port.
