• To add a direct connection to an IBM mini or mainframe system, use one of the following:

The coax and twinax connectors each contain a parallel interface. Since the printer's built-in parallel interface remains active, this gives you two parallel interfaces and a coax or twinax interface. Print jobs can be sent to any connection, and the printer automatically switches between the active ports.

The twinax interface is compatible with the following IBM systems: AS-400, System 36, 5251 (model 12), System 34, System 38, and 5294. When equipped with the EPSON twinax interface, the printer can be used in place of the following IBM system printers: 4210, 5224 (models 1 and 2), 5256 (models 1, 2, and 3), 3218 (non IPDS), 4214 (model 2), 5225 (models 1, 2, 3, and 4), and 5219 D01, D02.

The coax interface allows the printer to be connected to the following IBM control units and mainframe systems: 3174, 3276, 4274, and 3270.

• To add a direct connection to your GPIB network, use the GPIB interface card (C82313).
