3.2 PRINTER CABLES
Warning: Connection of a serial 466 to a parallel port may result in damage to the printer
and/or computer. Connection of a 466 with a parallel board to a serial port may result in
damage to the printer and/or computer.
The printer cables needed for the 466 printer are standard and available through Microcom
Corporation. You will not need a NULL-modem cable because the printer is DCE equipment.
For parallel connection, use a standard 25 pin to 36 pin Centronics printer cable, connected
from the desired parallel port of the host computer to the 36 pin connector on the optional 466
parallel board.
For serial connection, (standard on the 466)
25 pin serial com port - Use a standard 25 pin female to 25 pin male serial cable.
9 pin serial com port - Use a 9 pin female to 25 pin male cable.
Note: NULL modem cable adapters are not necessary since the printer is DCE equipment.
