 The Parallel Connection needs a Centronics

IEEE 1284 cable with a 36-

pin male connector for unidirectional (forward channel) communications,

or an IEEE 1284 Compliant cable for bi-directional communications

(forward and reverse channels). Also, for bi-directional communications

your host must have supporting software. See Section 5 for more

information.

 The USB Connection needs a USB cable and is supported in Windows

and greater operating systems. Depending upon the operating system of

your host computer, installation requirements may differ slightly.

 The Serial Connection needs a serial interface cable with specific pin-

outs for proper communications (part numbers and pin-outs are given,

below; contact your reseller to order). The interface supports RS-232C

communications via a DB-9 connector. Serial port settings are menu-

selectable and must match your host’s serial port settings; see Section 4.
