Connecting the Interface Cable

CAUTION

•Make sure the power to the printer and to the computer is switched off when you connect the printer and computer.

NOTE

•For optimum output, please use a cable recommended by Mutoh. If some other cable is to be used, select one by refer- ring to "Centronics (Bi-directional Parallel Interface: IEEE1284 compatible) Specifications" on page 103.

The printer can use the Centronics interface (IEEE1284 compatible, Nibble, ECP). Connect to the printer as shown in the following diagram with an interface cable (option) for the connection system you will use. Connect to the host computer with another interface cable.
