Description
Application of Use
IEEE 1284 Interface
Installation Kit
The IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface Board is an optional device
for EasyCoder F2 and EasyCoder F4 which provides these
printers with an parallel interface port.
The parallel communication port is addressed in Intermec Fin-
gerprint v7.2 or later as device "centronics:". The board is
IEEE1284-I compatible. Nibble, byte, ECP, and EPP modes
from printer to host are not presently supported.
The IEEE 1284 board has a standard 36-pin female IEEE
1284B connector with the following configuration:

1/. The external 5V is automatically switched off at overload.
There are neither any straps or other types of physical con-
figuration on this interface board, nor any options in the Setup
Mode
The IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface Kit contains:
•One interface board.
•One flat cable

• Open the electronics compartment by removing the front/
left-hand cover, which is held by three #T20 Torx screws
from the media compartment side of the center section.
Warning!
Switch off the power and disconnect the power cord. The
electronics compartment contains high voltage components
and wires. Do not open the electronics compartment before
the printer is safely disconnected from any AC supply.
• Remove the two #T10 Torx screws that hold the interface
cover plate on the printer’s rear plate. Remove the cover
plate.

EasyCoder F2 and F4,
cont.
•Make sure that the cable between CPU board and interface
board runs as illustrated below.
•Put back the front/left-hand cover.
•Connect the power cord.
•Now you have one new interface connector ("centronics:")
on the printer’s rear plate in addition to the standard inter-
faces "uart1:" and "usb1:". Connect the parallel interface
cable and switch on the power.
