Parallel configuration

The HP Color LaserJet 4610n printer supports network and parallel connections at the same time. A parallel connection is made by connecting the printer to the computer using a bidirectional parallel cable (IEEE-1284-C compliant) with a c-connector plugged into the printer’s parallel port. The cable can be a maximum of 10 meters (30 feet) long.

When used to describe a parallel interface, the term bidirectional indicates that the printer is able to both receive data from the computer and send data to the computer through the parallel port.

	Parallel port connection
	1	c-connector
	2	parallel port
NOTE	To use the enhanced capabilities of the bidirectional parallel interface such as bidirectional
	communication between the computer and printer, faster transfer of data, and automatic
	configuration of printer drivers, ensure that the most recent printer driver is installed. For
	more information, see Printer drivers.
