Step 5. Connecting a Printer Cable

You need to connect your printer to the computer with either a parallel interface cable or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.

Using a Parallel Cable

NOTES:

•The parallel port may not be available depending on your country.

•To connect the printer to the parallel port of the computer requires a certified parallel cable. You need to buy a IEEE1284 compliant cable that is within 3m in length.

1Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.

2Plug the parallel printer cable into the connector on the back of the printer.

Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the cable plug.
