To connect to a PC, you’ll need a parallel printer cable that meets the specifications listed under “System Requirements” in the Printer Basics book.
Place the printer near your computer and an available grounded outlet, but avoid areas:
■with high temperature or humidity
■in direct sunlight or dusty conditions
■near sources of heat or electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base units
Be sure to check the System Requirements and follow all the Safety Instructions in your Printer Basics book. If you need help as you set up your printer, see “Problem Solving” in your Printer Basics book.
2 Attach the Paper Support
Insert the paper support in the slots at the back of the printer’s sheet feeder.
3 Connect the Printer to Your Computer
1.Make sure the printer and your computer are turned off.
2.Connect the printer cable to the printer’s parallel connector; then squeeze the wire clips together to lock
it in place.
3.Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s main parallel port and secure it as necessary.
If your computer has multiple parallel connectors, connect your printer to the main one (identified as LPT1 by your system). To use a different port, see your Windows® documentation for instructions.
To configure your computer to match your printer’s maximum speed, you should enable your computer’s ECP/DMA mode, if possible. See your computer’s documentation.
