Configuring the Printer

Host Interface Menu

The printer provides the following host I/O interface selections:

Centronics parallel

Dataproducts parallel (requires optional cable adapter, p/n 703316–001)

Serial (RS–232 or RS–422)

Twinax (optional)

Coax (optional)

NOTE: When the Twinax IPDS emulation is installed, the host Interface

menu will not be available. Instead, the Twinax interface will be

automatically selected, and the interface parameters may be charged

in the MODE–CTHI menu. See the IPDS Programmer’s Manual for

details.

NOTE: The RS–422 option can be enabled or disabled via a menu option on

the control panel under the host interface selection. Make sure this

selection is properly made for your application.

NOTE: The Coax interface is not currently selectable.

The configuration options for each interface type are shown in the illustrations on

the following pages. Descriptions of the options follow each illustration. Set

these options to meet the specific data communication requirements of the host

and the application running on the host.

NOTE: For interface connector pin assignments and additional host

interface signal information, refer to Appendix B.
