In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the
DocuColor 40 CP can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-
speed parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for
workstations on dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or
IPX.
The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.
