To make a Null Printer Cable for use with a PLIP connection, you need
|
|
two 25-pin connectors (called DB-25) and some 11-conductor cable.
|
|
The cable must be at most 15-meters long.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you look at the connector, you should be able to read tiny numbers
|
|
at the base of each pin, from 1 for the pin top left (if you hold the
|
|
broader side up) to 25 for the pin bottom right. For the Null Printer
|
|
cable, you have to connect the following pins of both connectors
|
|
with each other:

All remaining pins remain unconnected. If the cable is shielded,
|
|
the shield should be connected to the DB-25's metallic shell
|
|
on one end only.
