Connection | Star Micronics NX-2415 instruction

Connection

Connect the printer to your computer, using a standard parallel-type cable. On a PC or PC/AT-type computer, this means that you use the 25way D- type connector at the computer end, and the Amphenol-type 36-way connector at the printer end. The pinouts of the printer’s connector are given in Chapter 8 if you need a cable for connection to another computer.

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