Note:

When printing, you can use the paper guide only when the tractor is installed in the front or rear push position.

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

Your printer is equipped with both an IEEE-1284-compatible parallel interface and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. It also includes a Type-B optional interface slot in case your computer requires a different type of printer interface. (See the Reference Guide if you need to install an interface card.)

Note:

You can connect cables to both interfaces; the printer switches automatically to the appropriate interface when it receives data.

To connect your computer to your printer’s built-in parallel interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with a 36-pin Centronics® compatible connector for the printer. To connect the printer to a USB port, you need a standard, shielded USB cable.

1.Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off, then connect the parallel or USB cable to the printer.
