3-2 Interface Types
In order to provide flexibility in communicating with a variety of host computer
systems, all CL608/612 printers can be configured for operation with either parallel,
RS232, RS422, USB or Ethernet.
The Centronics Parallel interface will probably be the most useful in communicating
with IBM PCs and compatibles. The RS232C Serial interface allows connectivity to a
number of other hosts. For instructions on how to properly configure the CL608/
CL612 printer for these interface types, see the printer configuration instructions in
Section 2 and 3 of this manual.
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect interface cables or use a switch box with power
applied to either the host or the printer. This may cause damage to the interface circuitry
in the printer/host and is not covered by warranty.
