Appendix B Host Computer Interface This appendix explains the signals used in the printer's parallel, USB, and serial (option) interfaces. It also lists pin assignments, signal functions, timings, connector specifications, and voltage levels. For details on the network interface, refer to the IB-21E/IB-22 User's Manual contained on the CD-ROM that is supplied with the printer. This appendix explains the following topics: • Parallel Interface • USB Interface • Serial Interface (option) 1. Parallel Interface 1.1 Parallel Interface Communication Modes The printer features fast data transmission with the parallel interface. The parallel interface mode can be activated from the operator panel. See Changing Parallel Interface Modes on page 3-19. NOTE Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standard. Nibble (high) [default] High speed data communication is used in compliance with the IEEE1284 standard. Ordinarily, you should leave this setting unchanged. Auto The printer automatically changes its communication mode to the one the host computer is currently using. Normal The printer uses the standard communication method prescribed for Centronics interfaces. High-speed This mode enables faster data transmission between the printer and the host computer. (Select this mode if printing problems occur when the printer is connected to a workstation.) 1.2 Interface Signals The pins of the parallel interface connector carry the signals listed in the table in Parallel Connector Pin Assignment.

Appendix B

Host Computer Interface

This appendix explains the signals used in the printer’s paral-

lel, USB, and serial (option) interfaces. It also lists pin assign-

ments, signal functions, timings, connector specifications, and

voltage levels. For details on the network interface, refer to the

IB-21E/IB-22 User’s Manual contained on the CD-ROM that is

supplied with the printer.

This appendix explains the following topics:

• Parallel Interface

• USB Interface

• Serial Interface (option)

The printer features fast data transmission with the parallel

interface. The parallel interface mode can be activated from

the operator panel.

See

Changing Parallel Interface Modes on page 3-19

Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284

standard.

Nibble (high) [default]

High speed data communication is used in compliance with

the IEEE1284 standard. Ordinarily, you should leave this

setting unchanged.

Auto

The printer automatically changes its communication mode

to the one the host computer is currently using.

Normal

The printer uses the standard communication method pre-

scribed for Centronics interfaces.

High-speed

This mode enables faster data transmission between the print-

er and the host computer. (Select this mode if printing prob-

lems occur when the printer is connected to a workstation.)

The pins of the parallel interface connector carry the signals

listed in the table in

Parallel Connector Pin Assignment

. As-

terisks in the table indicate signals that are low active. The

table also indicates whether each signal is incoming or outgo-

ing with respect to the printer.
