6 Connecting the printer to the computer

You can connect up to three computers (two for the ActionLaser 1000) to your printer at the same time. If you are connecting more than one computer, see “Sharing Your Printer” in the Reference Guide. To connect a parallel (factory setting), serial (built-in on the ActionLaser 1500 only), or optional interface, follow these steps. For information on optional interface boards, see Chapter 5 in the Reference Guide.

1.Make sure both the printer and the computer are off.

2.Connect a properly shielded interface cable to the appropriate interface connector. Parallel cables should be the twisted-pair type.

3.Plug the other end of the cable into your computer.

4.Insert the interface cable into the u-shaped part of one cable clip. Lift the left side of the printer up slightly. Then hook the short lip of the clip into the forward slot and push the bottom of the clip under the printer until it clicks in place. Repeat this procedure with the second clip and insert it into the back slot.
