4 Connecting a Printer or Other Device

The Equity 386SX has a parallel interface, a serial interface, and an auxiliary mouse connector. To connect a printer or other peripheral device to one of these interfaces, follow the instructions below. Of course, Epson offers a full range of printers; check with your dealer for more information.

Using the Parallel Interface

The Equity 386SX parallel interface is Centronics®-compatible and uses a DB-25S connector.

To connect a printer to the computer, you need an IBM- compatible printer cable. If you are not sure which one you need, check with your Epson dealer.

Once you have the correct printer cable, follow these steps to connect your printer to the parallel interface on the computer:

1.Be sure the power switches on the computer, monitor, and printer are off.

2. Place the printer next to the computer.
