Figure 1-3.Self-test printoutsConnecting the Printer to Your Computer

Now that the self test has shown that your printer is working well, it’s time to hook it up to your computer. It is best to have both the printer and the computer turned off when you do this.

Because different computers require different printer connections, you need a separate cable to connect the PIC cable to your computer. Connect the separate cable to the plug on the end of the PIC cable and then plug the other end into your computer. Your computer manual or your dealer will tell you what you need.
