Parallel cable connection
This chapter describes how to connect your Colorwriter to a network. You can
connect the Colorwriter to your network with thicknet, twisted pair, parallel
cable, or thinnet (with the use of the adapter DECXM-AA).
This chapter provides information about:
•
Parallel cable connection hardware
•
Ethernet cable connection hardware
•
Setting up TCP/IP printing
•
UNIX server print queues
•
Setting up IPX (Novell) printing
After you have connected the Colorwriter to the network, follow the setup
instructions in “Setting up the printer” on page 4-3.
Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the Colorwriter can accept print
jobs from a Windows computer or server through its high-speed Centronics
parallel port. This connection is also advantageous for workstations that use
dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.
The parallel port connection can be enabled concurrently with the Ethernet port.
