PARALLEL OUT
The parallel output port is connected to the parallel/Centronics in put port
on the target printer (standard parallel out cable supplied with printer
should be used).
PARALLEL IN
The parallel input port can be connected to the parallel/Centronics out put
on a PC or similar source which enables it to share the printer with the
host. For this connection you need a spare part cable ending in a 25-pole
D-Sub connector (i-data order no. 999022 030).
SERIAL (IN/OUT) RS232
The serial port can be configured either as input or as output.
Default configuration is input.

The serial port is connected to the serial output on a PC or similar source able
to share the printer with the host.
