Terminating Resistor Configurations

V5 Controller Board

The factory equips the printer with several resistors that are used for parallel
interface configurations and are suitable for most applications. These 470
ohm pull-up and 1K ohm pull-down terminating resistors are located at RP1
and RP2, shown in Figure 24.

If the values of these terminating resistors are not compatible with the
particular interface driver requirements of your host computer, you may need
to install resistors with different pull-up and pull-down values.

The shipping kit for this printer includes 220 ohm pull-up and 330 ohm pull-
down alternate terminating resistors. If you install the 220 ohm pull-up
resistor, you must also install the 330 ohm pull-down resistor. Table 8 lists the
three terminating resistor configurations you can install:

Default: 470 Ohm

Alt 1: 220 Ohm

Alt 2: 1K Ohm

Default: 1K Ohm

Alt 1: 330 Ohm

Alt 2: None
