A standard 36-pin parallel connector is available at the rear of the printer

for connection to the data source. Under normal circumstances, data sent

from the printer to the host computer in response to a “Printer Status

Request” command is sent through the RS-232 serial port. However, if the

host computer has a properly configured IEEE-1284 parallel port that is

recognized by the printer, status information is returned through the

parallel port. Port selection for status information is determined each time

the printer is turned on.
