Application: Connection of Centronics printers to IEEE488/GPIB interface
IEEE488 > Centronics interface
Product properties:
No special printers for measuring devices needed.
Simple installation
Configuration of address or
list-only mode available
Background information: Printers with Centronics interfaces are very popular and thus are available cheaply. With external interfaces, they can be adjusted to suit any port. The interface normally outlives several printer generations.
