❏Attach one end of the serial cable to a serial port of your computer (COM1, COM2), and secure the connector with the screws provided on the plug.

❏Plug the other end of the cable into the socket on the back of the printer and secure it in place with the screws.

Note:

The parallel interface equipped on the printer as standard can be removed and replaced with an optional IS-NP192 Serial Interface Unit. This makes it possible to connect two separate computers for serial data communication.
