Parallel Interface (optional)

Connect when using this printing system as a local printer.

A computer running Windows and an IEEE 1284 parallel cable are required for connection. Use a parallel cable that uses a terminal with an Amphenol 36-pin male connector.

The parallel interface supports the compatible, nibble, and ECP modes.

USB Interface (optional)

Connect when using this printing system as a network printer.

The USB interface can be connected to a computer running Windows. A USB cable is required for connection. Use a type A (4 pin, male) or type B (4 pin, male) USB cable. A USB cable measuring 3 meters or less is recom- mended.
