A. CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO YOUR COMPUTER

The CD Color Printer is designed to be used with nearly any IBM-PC¨or compatible running Windows 3.1x, Windows NT, or Windows 95. For best performance, a minimum of a 486/66 computer with 8Mb of RAM or higher is recommended.

The printer is equipped with a standard 8-bit Centronics-type parallel port. This port is the means through which it receives data from your computer. To connect the printer to your computer, simply obtain a shielded, bidirectional parallel cable, and refer to the following steps:

NOTE You may experience printing problems if your computerÕs parallel port mode is set to ECP. For best results, set your computerÕs parallel port to the standard ÒPrinter PortÓ setting. Refer to your computerÕs system documentation for instructions on checking and/or changing the parallel port mode.

1.Connect the Centronics-type parallel side of the cable to the printer. Snap the fastening clips into place.

2.Connect the other side to the back of your computer at LPT1, LPT2, or the PARALLEL connector.
