If you’re using a USB hub, connect the printer’s cable to the first tier of the hub or the printer may malfunction. If the printer doesn’t work with the hub, connect it directly to the USB port.
Connecting to a PC Parallel Port
To ensure your computer is capable of matching your printer’s maximum speed, your computer’s ECP/DMA mode should be enabled. Information on these settings is supplied by your computer manufacturer.
1.Turn off the printer and computer.
2.Connect the parallel cable to the printer’s parallel connector, then fasten it with the wire clips.
3.Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s parallel connector (you can identify it by shape) and secure it as necessary.
If your computer has multiple parallel connections, connect your printer to the main one (identified as LPT1 by your system). To use a different port, see your Windows documentation for instructions.
Connecting to a Macintosh Serial Port
1.Turn off the printer and Macintosh®.
2.Connect the cable to the printer’s serial connector.
3.Connect the other end of the cable to either the modem or printer port on your Macintosh.
If you’re using a PowerBook® with a combination printer/modem port, use that port and set it to Normal. If your Macintosh has an internal modem, use the printer port.
