There is no cable provided with the printer interface kit. To connect the printer to your computer, you will need either:
❐A cable for the parallel channel, also known as a Centronics cable.
❐A cable for the serial channel, also known as a null modem
If you plan to connect two computers, you will need one of each.
Make sure that the computer and the printer are both switched off and unplugged before connecting or disconnecting the cable at either end.
Cables should not be longer than 2.5 metres [about 8 feet].
When connecting the printer to your computer, determine which channel you will be us - ing. Some computers only provide one type of channel. If your computer has both types, use the parallel channel, leaving the serial channel free for other devices, such as modems. If you are in doubt about which type of connection to use, consult your dealer.
