H-Class 92.2.2 Connecting an Interface CableThe printer can be interfaced to a host device via Ethernet, Parallel, Serial, and USB ports.Following power-up (or after inactivity), interface port selection occurs automatically upondetection of valid data. If incoming data flow stops as the Host Timeout period (see Section4.2.5) is met, partially received formats will be ignored and the port selection repeated. • To change an active port immediately, cycle the power OFF and ON.• For alternate data processing options, see INPUT MODE, Section 4.2.4.Ethernet ConnectionThe Ethernet interface supports several menu-selectable modes. Depending on the length,the cable should be Category / Type 3 or better. Refer to Appendix F for setup information.Parallel ConnectionThe parallel interface supports directional communications. Choose and connect cabling asfollows:• For unidirectional communication, use a Centronics IEEE 1284 cable with a 36-pinmale connector; or,• For bi-directional communication, use an IEEE 1284 Compliant cable with a 36-pinmale connector (and supporting host software).Serial ConnectionThe serial interface supports RS-232C, RS-422, and RS-485 communications (see AppendixC for RS-422/485 details). |
