Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

Your EPI-4000 has two separate interface connections: a parallel interface and an RS-232C compatible serial interface. If you are unsure which one your computer requires, check your computer manual.

The EPI-4000 is set up at the factory for parallel communication. If your computer has a parallel interface and you have a suitable shielded cable, you can connect to most computers immediately. Just follow the steps under Connecting the Parallel Interface, below.

If you need to use the serial interface, be sure to change the SelecType setting as described in Chapter 2 before you connect the serial interface. If you have a computer that requires a different type of interface, use one of the optional interfaces described in Chapter 4.
