| 201609 | 2003-12-19 01:27:00 | There seems to be two types of Brother FAX930, a black one with the PC Interface and a White one without it. The interface cable would be whatever interface is on your Fax machine to your computer, if it's USB, then it'll be USB A to USB B, if Serial then it could be whatever D-PIN number to 9/29 pin serial. Most commonly 9 Pin. If parallel then just a normal printer cable would do. The PC Interface when connected requires MFL Pro PC Fax software. |

See if they would sell you one, just try and get a price. If not ring Dick Smith Electronics, explain what you need and they'll get one in for you, hopefully. I think the link is a male to female 9pin serial cable with a special box. Other than that it may just be a normal cable. |

| 201611 | 2003-12-19 01:34:00 | Serial cables are fun. ;-) Printers are usually "straight though" DTE-DTE "serial cables" but the PC funnies with some of the control lines can be a problem if you are making up your own cables. (You need female connectors both ends ... 9 pin or 25 pin depending on the hardware.) "serial printer pinout" to Google will get you the standard pinouts ... the second link looks to be a good starting point. If you want to buy a cable, a standard "modem" cable will probably be the one; not a "null modem" cable. |

| 201613 | 2003-12-19 04:37:00 | If Dick Smith sell it ask for the service manual it will show you what you need. Charges will apply of cause. When I built the cabel for my 545MC it was just a max232 level converter chip. DB9 to RJ45 for the connectors. I powered the max232 from the PC rs232 port, saved on a power supply. Still need software for the PC, but not hard to find <grin> |
