Epson LX-810 User Guide

Interface Boards
A number of optional interfaces are available. Serial interfaces are
available if your computer is not equipped with a parallel interface
or if you need an interface that conforms to the Current Loop
standard. An IEEE-488 interface offers standardized connection,
trouble-free operation, and the ability to connect computers,
printers, and other devices on the same line so that they may share
data freely.
Here is a list of Epson interfaces that are compatible with your
printer. Note that some of these interfaces may not be available in
your country or region.
