The parallel interface of this printer fully supports the Centronics protocol plus the specific
features requested by the EPSON and IBM printer connection in monodirectional mode and the
Compatibility and Nibbles modes in bidirectional mode, plus the negotiation phases and the
device identifier (as IEEE P1284).
The parallel interface is available on a specific 36 contact connector type AMPHENOL 57-40360-
12-D56 or equivalent connector for 1284 Type B.
•
Drive Capability
Up to 15 feet (5 m) on AWG26 min. wire size of twisted conductors on TTL receiver. The
max. reachable distance is conditioned by the host drive capability and by the noise level
along the interface cable path.
•
Printer Connector Type
36 pins, 1284 Type B
•
Cable Connector
25 pin, 1284 A Type
