Reference

For more information about resolving network connection problems, see p.13 “Configuring the Printer for the Network”.

Note

Consult your network administrator before connecting the machine to a net- work.

Be sure to use the interface cable with ferrite core for the connection to the computer (and/or HUB) in order to meet FCC and EMC Directive 89/336/ EEC emission guidelines.

Parallel cable requirements

The machine's parallel interface is a standard bidirectional interface. It requires a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port available on the host computer.

This machine does not provide the parallel cable to connect the machine to the computer.

Note

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