Appendix A System Interface Description
There are two system interfaces:
S one serial interface with RS-232C or RS-422 support
S one Parallel Centronics interface.
The interfaces can be operated in three different modes:
S parallel interface active
S parallel interface active in shared mode with serial RS-232C
S parallel interface active in shared mode with serial RS-422
The following chapter gives an overview about interface characteristics, control
signals, protocols, and cabling.
Any change to the operation mode (PARALLEL, PARALL. / RS232, or
PARALL. / RS422) and to the size of the interface buffer is only possible when
the interface buffer is completely empty of data.
