Connecting the Machine

Connecting the Machine to the Host Using the Parallel Cable / IEEE 1394 (SCSI print) Cable

Connect the machine to the host com- puter using the optional parallel board or the optional IEEE 1394 inter- face board. This machine does not come with a parallel cable to connect the machine to the host computer.

The machine's parallel interface is a standard bidirectional interface. It re- quires a standard IEEE 1284 compli- ant 36-pin parallel cable and a parallel port on the host computer. Make sure you purchase the appropriate cable for the machine and your computer.

Note

Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

Rating voltage of the interface con- nector: Max. DC 5V

Follow the procedure to connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel cable or IEEE 1394 interface cable.

Important

Before connecting the machine and a computer using an interface ca- ble, make sure the machine is not operating, and then turn off the main power switches of the ma- chine and computer.

Be sure to use a specified interface cable. Other cables may cause ra- dio interference.

A Turn off the main power switches of the machine and computer.
