Make sure the printer is turned off. Then plug the power cord into the AC inlet on the back of the printer and connect the other end to a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

You can connect your printer using the following interfaces:

❏IEEE-1284-compatible parallel interface (use a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with a 36-pin Centronics® compatible connector)

❏RS-232C serial interface (use a null modem cable)

❏Type-B optional interface (see the Reference Guide to install an optional interface card)

Note:

You can connect to multiple interfaces simultaneously; the printer switches interfaces automatically when it receives data.
