Step 5 — Connect the Printer Cable and Power Cord

NOTE	Use the printer cable that was shipped with your unit. It is a special bi-directional
	parallel, IEEE 1284-compliant printer cable with a 1284-C connector that is necessary
	for the proper functioning of your HP OfficeJet. If you choose to buy a longer cable,
	make sure it is an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable with a 1284-C connector.

Connecting the Printer Cable

1Connect the printer cable to the HP OfficeJet.

The cable connector is located on the back of the unit, in the middle.

2Plug the other end of the cable into your computer’s parallel port.

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