Reference Centronics Parallel
Connection Cable:
It is recommended that an IEEE 1284
specification cable be used to connect
the Turbo Printer to the parallel port of
the PC.
This cable has double screening with the
data wires being in twisted pairs to
eliminate crosstalk and noise pickup
found in the standard types of
unscreened parallel printer cable.
Failure to use this specification cable
may lead to image degradation and
corruption of the image data being
downloaded to the printer resulting in a
poor quality or scrambled multi-coloured
card being printed.
