|
To make a parallel cable to use for PLIP, you will need two 25-pin
|
|
connectors (called DB-25) and a cable with at least eleven conductors.
|
|
The cable must not be any longer than 15 meters (50 feet). The cable may or may
|
|
not have a shield, but if you are building a long cable, it is probably
|
|
a good idea to have one.</P
|
|
><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 at the top left (if you hold
|
|
the broader side up) to 25 for the pin at the bottom right. For the null
|
|
printer cable, you have to connect the following pins of both connectors
|
|
with each other, as shown in <A
|
|

|
|
>Figure B-1</A
|
|
>.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>All remaining pins remain unconnected. If the cable is shielded, the
|
|
shield should be connected to the DB-25's metallic shell on just
