C.1 Parallel Interface

C.1.1 Parallel Interface Communication Modes

The printer features fast data transmission with the parallel interface. The

parallel interface mode can be activated from the operator panel.

See

Changing Parallel Interface Modes

on page

1-40

.

Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standard.

Nibble (high) [default]

High speed data communication is used in compliance with the IEEE1284

standard. Ordinarily, you should leave this setting unchanged.

Auto

The printer automatically changes its communication mode to the one the

host computer is currently using.

Normal

The printer uses the standard communication method prescribed for

Centronics interfaces.

High-speed

This mode enables faster data transmission between the printer and the

host computer.

(Select this mode if printing problems occur when the printer is connected

to a workstation.)

C.1.2 Interface Signals

The pins of the parallel interface connector carry the signals listed in the

table in

Parallel Connector Pin Assignment

on page

C-3

. Asterisks in

the table indicate signals that are active low. The table also indicates

whether each signal is incoming or outgoing with respect to the printer.
