Your Apex comes with a built-in parallel interface that lets you connect an Epson printer or plotter, or any other parallel printer. (Parallel refers to the way data is transmitted; a parallel interface is a high-speed interface used primarily for printers.) Besides a printer, you can add other accessories to further expand the capabilities of your Apex. You have three option slots that let you connect almost any perifherul device you choose. A peripheral device is any device that you connect to the computer, and which then depends on the computer for its operation. Monitors, printers, and internal modems (which are used for on-line communications) are all peripheral devices. Your Apex comes standard with a color/graphics adapter (CGA) card installed in one of the option slots. This allows you to connect any composite monitor, monochrome or color, or any RGB color/ graphics monitor to your Apex. Or, you can change this card if you want to use any other type of monitor. Here are some of the devices you can use with your standard Apex system: Composite monochrome monitor (composite refer to the type of signal your monitor receives) Composite color monitor RGB (red green blue) color monitor Any printer with a parallel interface. 2 Introduction

Your Apex comes with a built-in parallel interface that
lets you connect an Epson printer or plotter, or any
other parallel printer. (Parallel refers to the way data is
transmitted; a parallel interface is a high-speed
interface used primarily for printers.)
Besides a printer, you can add other accessories to
further expand the capabilities of your Apex. You have
three option slots that let you connect almost any
perifherul device you choose. A peripheral device is
any device that you connect to the computer, and
which then depends on the computer for its operation.
Monitors, printers, and internal modems (which are
used for on-line communications) are all peripheral
devices.
Your Apex comes standard with a color/graphics
adapter (CGA) card installed in one of the option
slots. This allows you to connect any composite
monitor, monochrome or color, or any RGB color/
graphics monitor to your Apex. Or, you can change
this card if you want to use any other type of monitor.
Here are some of the devices you can use with your
standard Apex system:
Composite monochrome monitor (composite refer
to the type of signal your monitor receives)
Composite color monitor
RGB (red green blue) color monitor
Any printer with a parallel interface.
