of the printer. This opening is covered with a rectangular metal plate.
The printer’s simultaneous interface operation (SIO) allows the
optional interface to be active at the same time as the other ports. In
other words, your printer can communicate through up to four ports
with four host computers or computer networks. One host can inter-
face through the parallel port, one through the serial port, one through
the Ethernet port, and one through the optional interface port. See
your QMS vendor for a list of optional network interfaces available.
