8-1 Interfaces CHAPTER 8: Printer Interfaces Interfaces connect your printer to other devices, such as a computer. Your printer has a standard parallel connector (also referred to as a Centronics-type interface) and/or a USB connector. Some printers also offer a parallel interface option. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information. See page 8-8 for more information about parallel interface. Some printers have a standard serial connector for RS-232C serial interface. If a serial connector is not standard, you may be able to install a Tri-Port interface option card. The Tri-Port interface option card provides a RS-232C or RS-422 serial interface port, as well as LocalTalk, and an infrared port. Some printers also let you configure the serial interface port as a receiving fax port. See page 8-35 for more information about serial interface. Some printers have standard print servers, but you can also buy optional print servers that connect the printer to Token-Ring or Ethernet networks. For detailed installation or setup instructions, refer to your printer user documentation or the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD. See "Network Support" on page 8-53 for more information about print servers. Refer to your printer user documentation for information on which printer interface options your printer supports and for detailed installation instructions. Note: All print servers are capable of supporting AppleTalk.
