RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not

installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested

and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance

with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to

provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is

operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own

expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the

interference.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital

apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites

applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le

brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

2. Introduction

2.1 Description

The IEEE 1284 Serial to Parallel Converter lets you connect RS-232/423 serial

hardware to a printer or other device equipped with a BiTronics parallel interface.

Able to work in either Level 1 Compatible or Nibble modes (according to the IEEE

1284 standard), the Converter supports the high speeds necessary for graphics-

intensive laser-printer applications.

On the serial side, the Converter translates Nibble operations into standard

Hewlett-Packard®LaserJet®IV serial printer escape sequences. This allows

operation with standard printer drivers. On the parallel side, the Model 2030

translates all commands received from the serial device into BiTronics Nibble

operations or Compatible operations (depending upon the mode selected).

The IEEE 1284 Serial to Parallel Converter works with all BiTronics Level 1

compatible hardware, including Level 2 hardware with Level 1 backward

compatibility. Power may be supplied by both interfaces, or by an optional plug-in

AC adapter (PS095).

2.2 Features

• Supports data rates up to 115.2 kbps.

• Supports two IEEE 1284 BiTronics modes: Compatible and Nibble (switchable).

• 4KV ESD protection on serial interface.

• Power derived from both interfaces, or from external AC power supply.

• LEDs for Power and Data mode (distinctive blinking).

• Male 36-pin Centronics or Mini-Centronics 36 for parallel connection.

• DEC MMJ jack, RJ-45 jack, or DB25 (male or female) for serial connection.

• Miniature size.

3. Configuration

3.1 Configuration Switches

The Converter uses a set of eight external DIP switches that allow configuration to

a wide range of applications. Because all eight switches are in one externally

accessible DIP-switch package, there is no need to open the case for configuration.

The configuration switches allow you to select data rates, parity, word length, and

flow-control selection.

To set the switches:

1. Open the Converter’s case by inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver in the

slot on either side of the case and twisting gently.

2. Having exposed the PC board, you will see the miniature DIP-switch packet on

the side of the board nearest the Centronics®connector.

3. Use a small screwdriver and gently push each switch to its proper setting. The

ON position is printed on the switch packet.

4. Fit the case halves and end plate together and push to snap closed.

3.2 Detailed Switch Settings

The DIP switches on the Converter’s PC board are labeled 1 through 8. Only

switches 1 through 4 are used. Switches 5 through 8 have no function.
