Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

4.If your cable has a grounding wire, connect it to the printer’s ground connector.

5.Plug the other end of the cable into your computer. (Fasten the connector screws to the interface, if required.)

This completes the connection of the serial interface cable. Before you can use the printer, you need to set it up for serial communication using the SelecType CH CONFIG option in Level 2. You may also need to change some interface settings, such as baud rate and parity, before your printer and computer can communicate properly. See Chapter 3 for instructions on setting up the serial interface to work with your computer.
