Optional Interfaces
This section describes how to install the optional interface cards
listed below.
To add a direct connection to an Ethernet system, use an optional
Ethernet Card (C82357
✽
/C82362
✽
/C82363
✽
)
To add a serial or parallel interface to your printer, use one of the
following:
32KB Serial Interface Card C82307
✽
32KB Parallel Interface Card C82310
✽
To add a direct connection to an IBM mini or mainframe system,
use one of the following:
Coax Interface Card C82314
✽
Twinax Interface Card C82315
✽
The coax and twinax connectors each contain a parallel interface.
Since the printer's built-in parallel interface remains active, this
gives you two parallel interfaces and a coax or twinax interface.
Print jobs can be sent to any connection, and the printer
automatically switches between the active ports.
The twinax interface is compatible with the following IBM
systems: AS-400, System 36, 5251 (model 12), System 34, System
38, and 5294. When equipped with the EPSON twinax interface,
the printer can be used in place of the following IBM system
printers: 4210, 5224 (models 1 and 2), 5256 (models 1, 2, and 3),
3218 (non IPDS), 4214 (model 2), 5225 (models 1, 2, 3, and 4), and
5219 D01, D02.
The coax interface allows the printer to be connected to the
following IBM control units and mainframe systems: 3174, 3276,
4274, and 3270.
