Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

☞

•Serial (RS-232C/422A)

Use a serial interface if the printer is not near the computer. Many computers have both parallel and serial interface ports. Serial communication can operate up to 15 meters (50 feet). Parallel communication is normally limited to 3 meters (10 feet).

•LocalTalk

Use the LocalTalk interface if the printer is connected to a Macintosh network.

•Ethernet C

Use Ethernet C if the printer is used in a NetWare or UNIX environment.

For any of these options refer to Chapter 3.

Connecting to the Parallel Port

This printer does not come with a parallel interface cable. You can use a standard Centronics interface cable (sold separately) for this purpose. Your dealer can advise you on the cable you require.

Notice:

Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.

Do not touch any connector contacts or corona wires to avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer.

To make the connection, plug the cable connector into the parallel interface port on the back of the printer. Secure the connector with the wire clips. Plug the other connector into your computer’s parallel port. Consult your computer documentation if you need help.
