The three types of industry standard interfaces offered by the printer are: RS-232 serial interface,
RS-422 serial interface and TTL level 8-bit IBM/Centronics compatible, parallel interface. Serial
and parallel interface connectors are provided at the back of the printer. The 25-pin serial connector
is compatible for both RS-232 and RS-422.

needed and any unique pin-out configuration that may be required. This information should be
given to your dealer or distributor to determine the correct cable for your use.
