Fujitsu DL7400 User Manual

Your printer supports one of the following interface options: 

•  Centronics parallel interface+RS-232C serial interface 
•  Centronics parallel interface+USB (+LAN) interface 

The parallel interface connector has wire clips. The serial interface 
connector has tapped holes. Cables for these interfaces are available from 
dealers, cable manufacturers, and other suppliers. 

The LAN card is a user installable option. For details, see Chapter 8 or 
refer to the Online Manual that comes with the LAN card. 

For detailed interface specifications, see Appendix D. 

For the parallel interface, use a cable that meets the following 
specifications: 

9  At the printer end, use a shielded male Centronics connector, 

such as an Amphenol DDK 57FE-30360 or its equivalent. To 
prevent RFI (radio frequency interference), the connector cover 
must be connected to the cable shield. 

9  At the computer end, most computers (including IBM PCs) 

require a male DB-25P connector. Some computers, however, 
require a Centronics connector. To determine the type of 
connector your computer uses, refer to your computer user 
manual. 

9  Make sure that the cable length does not exceed 3 meters (10 

feet). 

For the serial interface, use a cable that meets the following 
specifications: 

9  At the printer end, use a 25-pin male connector, such as a 

Cannon DB-25P or its equivalent. 

9  To determine the type of connector your computer requires, 

refer to your computer user manual or ask your dealer. 

9  The cable length can be up to 15 meters (50 feet). This type of 

length is required in many networking and shared-printer 
configurations.
