Appendix E
Choosing and Setting Up Optional Interfaces
This appendix contains information on Epson interfaces compatible
with the Apex80 printer, instructions on choosing the right interface
for a particular job, and instructions for installing internally mounted
interface boards.
Compatible Interfaces
There are three optional interfaces that supplement the Apex80’s
built-in parallel interface and the standard 8K data buffer:
#8143
#8148
#8165
Serial interface with baud rate selectable between
75 and 9600
Intelligent serial interface
Intelligent IEEE-488 interface.
Choosing an Interface
This section describes the interfaces.
IEEE-488 and Apple interfaces
The IEEE-488 system allows you to connect computers, printers, and
other peripherals so that they can share data freely.
The Apple II, II+ and IIe computers do not have a printer interface
as a standard feature. Parallel interface boards are available for the
Apple, which has software to control the functions of the printer. With
this type of interface installed in the Apple, no additional interface is
needed in the printer.
