Connecting the printer to your computer

Connect the printer to your computer using a standard parallel interface cable. On a PC or PC/AT-type computer, this means that you use the 25pin D-type connector at the computer end, and the Amphenol-type 36-pin con- nector at the printer end. The configuration of the printer’s connector is given in Chapter 8 should you need a cable for connecting to another computer.

If you need to connect to a serial port, use the optional Serial-Parallel con- verter, SPC-8K.

Plug the printer into a suitable outlet. However, DO NOT turn on the power switch at the front of the printer yet.

NOTE: To disconnect the printer the plug has to be disconnected from the wall socket, which has to be located close to the printer, and easy to access.
