CONNECTINGTHE PRINTERTO A COMPUTER

Connect the printer to your computer using a parallel port.

Important

The parallel interface cable is not provided with the printer. It is your responsibility to provide the interface cable appropriate for the computer that you are using.

The printer’s parallel connection is a standard bi- directional interface. It requires a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE1284 and a parallel port available on your computer.

To avoid electrical interference, use the shielded cable.

Note

Do not use a parallel cable more than 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) long.

Turn off the printer’s power switch.

Turn your computer off.

Attach the interface cable to the interface connector of the printer. Secure the cable with the metal fittings as shown in the illustration.
