Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
Use a serial interface if the printer is not near the computer. Many computers have both parallel and serial interface ports. Serial communication can operate up to 15 meters (50 feet). Parallel communication is normally limited to 3 meters (10 feet).
•LocalTalk (option)Use the LocalTalk interface if the printer is connected to a Macintosh network.
•Ethernet C (option)Use Ethernet C if the printer is used in a NetWare or TCP/IP corresponding.
Whichever interface you use, the printer automatically detects the interface that the computer is using.
For these options refer to Chapter 3.
Connecting to the Parallel PortThis printer does not come with a parallel interface cable. You can use the following two types of Centronics interface cables (sold separately) for this purpose. Your dealer can advise you on the cable you require.
•Centronics cable with IEEE 1284 type B connector at the printer side
•Centronics cable with IEEE1284 type C connector (half size) at the printer side
Notice:
Be sure the printer is turned off bef ore connecting the interface.
Do not touch any connector contacts or corona wires to avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer.
