A power line cord is provided with the printer, but no data cables. Data cable requirements and ordering information are listed
below:
ASCII Serial/Parallel: The 6500-v printer is connected to personal computers and controllers via industry standard EIA-232-E
and PC-parallel printer cables. For Dataproducts interfaces, you will need to obtain a Dataproducts cable. Contact your IBM
service representative to order the following:
• EIA-232-E Cable
• PC-Parallel Cable
• Dataproducts Adapter Feature
AS/400: The 6500-v is connected to the AS/400 ASCII Workstation Controller via the following IBM cables, available through
your IBM service representative:
Type Standard IEEE 1284 Parallel, Centronics Parallel, RS-232/RS-
422 Serial (optional), Dataproducts Parallel.
Optional Coax, Twinax, Dataproducts Long Line, Ethernet 10/
100Base-T
