CHAPTER 8: Printer Interfaces

Interfaces connect your printer to other devices, such as a computer. The Lexmark
C510 has a standard parallel connector (also referred to as a

Centronics

-type

interface) and/or a USB connector. The Lexmark X422 has an internal print server and
a USB connector. Some printers also offer a parallel interface option. See your printer
documentation for more information. See page 8-7 for more information about parallel
interface.

If a serial connector is required, you may be able to install an RS-232C Serial/Parallel
1284-C Interface Card. See page 8-18 for more information about serial interface.

Some printers have standard print servers, but you can also buy optional print servers
that connect the printer to Token-Ring or Ethernet networks. For detailed installation
or setup instructions, see your printer documentation or the

Software and

Documentation

CD. See “Network Support” on page 8-28 for more information about

print servers.

See your printer documentation for information on which printer interface options your
printer supports and for detailed installation instructions.

Note:

All print servers are capable of supporting AppleTalk.
