Connecting the Printer to the Computer

You need an appropriate serial interface or parallel interface cable to connect your computer to the printer (null modem serial or IEEE 1284 parallel).

The Model with Serial Interface

1.Make sure the printer and computer are turned off. Then plug the cable into the connector on the printer, as shown.

Note:

Your printer comes with inch-type hexagonal lock screws installed. If you plan to use an interface cable that requires millimeter-type lock screws, replace the inch-type screws with the enclosed millimeter-type screws by using a hex screwdriver (5 mm). To distinguish between the two types of screws, see the illustration below.

Notch (one or more lines)

Inch-type

Millimeter-type

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the connector on your computer.
