Interfaces

This appendix describes the printer's parallel and serial interfaces,
including voltages, signals and timing, cables and connectors, pin assign-
ments, and parameters.

Centronics Parallel Interface

The parallel interface conforms to the Centronics standard for parallel
data transfer from computers to printers. The interface contains 36 lines.

Voltages

A signal on a line is either high or low, depending on the voltage level.
Timed high-to-low and low-to-high transitions of a signal enable the
transfer of logical information. The valid parallel voltages are as
follows:

9
