Connecting the Printer

Parallel Connection

The parallel interface cable is not provided with the printer.

The printer's parallel connection is a standard bidirectional interface that re- quires an IEEE 1284-compliant 36-pin parallel cable and host computer par- allel port.

Use shielded interface cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic inter- ference that could cause malfunctions.

A Turn off the printer and computer.

B Connect the cable to the interface connector.

C Securely attach the other end of the parallel cable to your computer's parallel port. Secure the cable.

For details about settings for parallel connection printing, see Software Guide.
