Parallel Interface Specifications

✒ Note

 To ensure best quality performance use an IEEE 1284 compliant parallel

cable between the printer and your computer. Only IEEE 1284 cables

support all of the advanced printing capabilities, like bi-directional

communication. These cables will be clearly marked with “IEEE-1284”.

 We recommend to use a parallel cable that is 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) or less.

Interface Connector Printer Side: Amphenol FCN-685J036-L/X or

equivalent

A shielded cable should be used.
