Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

1

Your printer has two separate interface connections:

aCentronics® compatible parallel interface and an RS-232C- compatible serial interface. If you are not sure which one is required by your computer, check your computer manual.

Note:

Your printer has an auto interface mode function that allows you to connect to more than one interface at a time. See “Using DIP Switches” in Chapter 4.

If you have a suitable shielded cable, you should be able to connect the printer immediately. If you have one of the few computers that requires a different type of interface, you need to use an optional interface card. See Chapter 6.
