3Plug the other end of the cable into your computer’s parallel port. The parallel port is located on the back of your computer. Match the pins on the printer cable to the port.

CAUTION Do not connect your HP PSC 500 to a switch box or the pass-through port of another parallel product, such as a scanner, tape drive, zip drive, or CD-ROM drive. Doing so can cause erratic behavior of both products and the possible loss of information.

Connecting the Power Cords

WARNING Choose a power outlet that is easy to access. This allows you to quickly shut off power. Power is present in the product even if the unit is powered off. To completely shut off power, disconnect the power cord.

For safe operation, use the power cord with a properly grounded outlet. Use only the power supply (HP part number 0950-2880) that came with your HP PSC 500. Using another adapter may be hazardous.

2Plug the power supply adapter into the back of the HP PSC 500.

The power supply connector is located on the back of the unit, to the left of the printer-cable connector.

NOTE

Make sure that the cord is securely attached; otherwise, it may not work.
