Parallel Printer, External Monitor | NEC 2000 Series specification

Parallel Printer

You can connect a standard parallel printer to the system unit. To install the printer, you need the printer drivers and a printer cable. Use a cable with a male 25-pin connector for connecting to the parallel port on the back of the system unit and a Centronics® -compatible 36-pin connector on the other end for connecting to the printer.

Refer to the printer documentation for details on installing the printer, including driver installation and cabling instructions.

External Monitor

You can add a standard Plug and Play external monitor to the system unit. The VGA connector on the back of the system unit supports any size NEC MultiSync® monitor, NEC VistaScan™ monitor, or other VGA-compatible monitor with a 15-pin connector.

To install the monitor, you need a power cable and a signal cable (both are usually supplied with the unit). The signal cable must have a 15-pin cable connector for connecting to the system unit.

Power down the system and connect the signal cable to the VGA port on the back of the system unit and the power cable to a grounded wall outlet.

Turn on the monitor and power up the system unit. On power up, the LCD panel automatically turns on. With this feature, you can view your applications with the LCD panel and monitor at the same time.

See the monitor documentation for details on installing, setting up, and adjusting the unit.

Serial Devices

You can add external Plug and Play serial devices such as an external modem or a printer to the system unit. Connect the device to the serial port on the back of the system unit. To install the device, you need the device drivers and a serial cable with a female 9-pin connector.

Power down the system unit. Connect the device cable to the serial port on the back of the system unit and connect the power cable to a grounded wall outlet. See your device documentation for further details on installing and setting up the serial device.
