Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

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

5.Plug the other end of the parallel cable into your computer and fasten the connector screws to the interface, if necessary. Some parallel cables have grounding wires at the computer end as well. If so, connect this wire to the ground screw on the computer.

Note: You can use the SelecType Level 2 I/F CONFIG option to change some of the parallel interface settings. However, you will probably never need to change these settings.

Now you can test the computer-to-printer connection as described below.
