Connectivity and network management

RS-232C or RS-422A. The serial port on the adapter supports the NPA protocol. NPA 
Mode can be set to On, Off, or Auto. 

Note: MarkVision does not support printers attached to the serial port.

The serial settings for a tri-port card are held in NVRAM on the printer and not the 
adapter itself. If you move a card from one ISP to another, the settings remain with the 
first ISP and are not moved with the card. 

You can also add a serial port to the printer with a MarkNet Pro 3 external print server or 
a serial interface adapter. See page 186 for information about the serial interface adapter. 
See page 189 for information about the MarkNet Pro external print server.

The LocalTalk port on the tri-port card can attach the printer directly to an individual Mac-
intosh computer or to a LocalTalk network. This standard 8-pin LocalTalk port requires a 
cable with an 8-pin mini-DIN connector. 

The LocalTalk port fully supports NPAP and works in conjunction with MarkVision for 
Macintosh (see “MarkVision printer management software” on page 197). If two tri-port 
cards are installed, the printer only supports one LocalTalk connection. Select the Local-
Talk port you want to use from the LocalTalk Port Menu. 

The infrared port is fully compatible with Infrared Data Association (IrDA) Version 1.0. It 
supports a maximum 1MB per second baud rate with a maximum distance from worksta-
tion to adapter of one meter.

To use the infrared port, you must have a special infrared adapter. The infrared adapter 
connects to the infrared port on the tri-port card and is used to send and receive the infra-
red signals to and from the workstation. If two tri-port cards are installed, the printer only 
supports one infrared connection. Select the infrared port you want to use from the Infra-
red Port Menu.

Setup Guide for more information about connecting an infrared 

adapter to your printer.
