To connect a parallel cable

To print through the parallel port, the printer requires a 25-pin male/micro

36-pin male (“C-size”) parallel cable that is IEEE-1284 compliant. The cable is not included with the printer. It must be purchased separately.

1Squeeze the clips on the micro 36-pin end of the parallel cable and plug it into the printer’s parallel port. Release the clips.

2Plug the other end of the parallel cable into the computer. Tighten the screws on the parallel cable to secure the cable to the computer.
