Choosing an Interface

This section describes the interfaces.

IEEE-488 and Apple interfaces

The IEEE-488 system allows you to connect computers, printers, and

other peripherals so that they can share data freely. Epson offers two

types of IEEE-488 interfaces. The #8161 offers the basic ability to

operate in the IEEE-488 address and listen-only modes. The #8165 has

the basic features and an 8K data buffer and a line monitor function,

which provides a diagnostic printout of IEEE-488 commands.

The Apple II, II+ and IIe computers do not have a printer interface

as a standard feature. Epson produces a parallel interface board for the

Apple, which has software to control the functions of the printer. With

the #8131 interface installed in the Apple, no additional interface is

needed in the printer.

Buffered interfaces

If you often print very large amounts of text, a buffered interface can

free the computer for other tasks. Serial and parallel buffered interfaces

are available to increase the printer’s data buffering capacity to either

32K or 128K (about 20 or 80 pages). See Table E-1.

Serial interfaces

Three Epson serial interfaces are suitable for FX printers. All three

offer a wide range of baud rates, a choice of 7-bit or 8-bit data, and

support Current Loop operation in addition to RS-232C. They also

offer a choice of other features, which are listed in Table E-2.
