Connecting a Printer Cable

For Local Printing

To print from your computer in a local environment, 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

NOTE:
To connect the printer to the parallel port of the computer
requires a certified parallel cable. You will need to buy an
IEEE1284 compliant cable.
1
Make sure that both the printer and the computer are
turned off.
2
Plug 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.
3
Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface
port on your computer, and tighten the screws.
See your computer User’s Guide, if you need help.
