Bi-Tronics Parallel Cable Information
Bi-’Ikonics Parallel Cable Information
●
The Bi-Tronics parallel interface is compatible with Centronics
parallel interfaces. To take advantage of its enhanced capabilities
—
such as hi-directional communication between the comtmter and
printer, faster transmission of data, and auto con&urati& of
printer drivers — the customer must have:
● Support in software applications for these features.
● A parallel cable with the correct pin configuration (see below),
Parallel Cable Pin Configuration
For best results, use the C24542D cable, or equivalent. Most
existing parallel cables support Bi-Tronics communication, but
some might have incompatible pin assignments.
CAUTION
Ensure that all power and interface cables on
the printer and host computer are properly
grounded in compliance with local codes.
