3. Computer Connections
This printer comes with USB interface, a standard Centronics
parallel interface, and a nine-pin Electronics Industries
Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data interface.
USB Interface Requirements
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is compatible with your
existing PC hardware. The USB’s “plug and play” design makes
installation easy. Multiple printers can share a single USB
port/hub.
Centronics Parallel Port
You can connect the printer to the host computer’s parallel port
using any standard Centronics cable. The required cable must
have a standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end, which is
plugged into the parallel port located on the back of the printer.
The other end of the parallel interface cable connects to the
printer connector at the host computer. For pin-out information,
please refer to the Technical Reference in this manual.

Serial (RS-232) Port
The required cable must have a nine-pin "D" type male connector
on one end, which is plugged into serial port located on the back
of the printer. The other end of the cable connects to a serial port
on the host computer. For technical and pin-out information,
please refer to the Technical Reference in this manual.
Note:
1. Centronics allows a much higher communication speed than
serial.
2. The pin assignment of serial cable is different from PC. Please
contact your local Argox reseller if you need this cable.
