Interfaces
This chapter describes the interfaces supported by the 4213 Laser
Printer, the Centronics and Dataproducts parallel, and the serial
asynchronous.  
Parallel interface
The 4213 Laser Printer supports two parallel interfaces:
Centronics and Dataproducts.  Each is described on the following
pages.
The parallel interface cable
You must supply the interface cable to connect the 4213 to your
host.  The cable must meet the following specification in order
to comply with FCC and VDE regulations.
