Parallel Port Environment
System configuration
The machine can be connected directly to the parallel port of a host workstation. A
document file can be sent from the host workstation via the parallel port to the machine
for printing. Other workstations can be connected via a network to the host workstation.
Each workstation has a queue that can hold a number of files.
The document file is sent from the queue in the workstation to the queue in the host
workstation, and then onto the queue in the machine to be printed.
