1. Slot A
Install an optional interface board in this slot.
The slot can accommodate one of the following interface boards:
• IEEE1284 interface board: Required if you want to connect an IEEE 1284 cable to this machine. When
installed in Slot A, this board allows you to connect the machine to a computer through an IEEE 1284
cable.
• Wireless LAN interface unit: Required if you want to connect this machine to a wireless LAN. When installed
in Slot A, this unit allows you to connect the machine to an IEEE 802.11 a or IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless
LAN.
• Bluetooth interface unit: Required if you want to give the machine Bluetooth capability. When installed in
Slot A, this unit allows the machine to communicate via Bluetooth with an external device.
2. USB 2.0 [Type B] port
Port for connecting the USB2.0 [Type B] interface cable
3. 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port

4. USB Host Interface
Port for connecting the USB interface cable
Use this interface to connect the machine to a card authentication device or memory card reader.
5. Gigabit Ethernet port (optional)
Port for using the 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 10BASE-T cable
• Slot A can contain one module only: You can install only one IEEE 1284 interface board, one Wireless
LAN interface unit, or one Bluetooth interface unit at a time in this slot.
• The Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet port cannot be used simultaneously. If the optional Gigabit Ethernet
board is installed, connect the Ethernet cable to the port on the Gigabit Ethernet board Communication
with the machine will fail if cables are connected to both ports simultaneously.
Connecting to the Ethernet Interface
This section describes how to connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface.
