Lexmark 752 setup guide Parallel, Serial

Page 50

Parallel

A parallel port is standard on the base model and is available on an

 

option card for network models. See “Installing an option card” on

 

page 28 for more information.

 

If you install an optional Parallel Interface Card in any of the network

 

models, you need a 1284 A-C parallel cable, such as Lexmark part

 

number 11K4078 (6 ft).

 

To attach the printer to a computer:

 

1

Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel cable.

 

2

Plug one end of the printer power cord into the socket at the

 

 

back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded

 

 

outlet. (See the illustration on Page 40.)

 

3

Turn on your printer.

 

4

Go on to “Install drivers for local printing” on page 44.

Serial

If you have installed an optional Serial Interface Card, you can locally

 

attach the printer with a serial cable. With serial printing, data is

 

transferred one bit at a time. Although serial printing is usually slower

 

than parallel printing, it is the preferred option when there is a great

 

deal of distance between your printer and computer or a parallel

 

interface is not available.

 

A serial port requires a compatible serial cable such as Lexmark part

 

number 1038693 (50 ft).

 

To attach the printer to a computer:

 

1

Connect the printer to the computer using a serial cable.

 

2

Plug one end of the printer power cord into the socket at the

 

 

back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded

 

 

outlet. (See the illustration on Page 40.)

 

3

Turn on your printer.

 

4

Launch the drivers CD and click View Documentation for

 

 

instructions to set up for serial printing.
