Connecting the interface cable

The printer and computer are connected by a cable along which the computer transmits the documents that you want to print. A cable is not supplied as standard equipmemt with this printer. There are two sorts of cable that you can use: a standard 36-pin Centronics parallel cable or the serial cable that you can purchase as an option with the printer.

Connecting the printer to a computer using a parallel cable is generally simpler; however, the length of the parallel cable should not be more than 6 feet, otherwise the transfer of information between your computer and the printer may be impaired. A serial connection can, for all practical purposes, be as long as you 1ike,but is a little more complicated to set up. Buy the type of cable which will best suit your needs.

If you need to connect to a serial port, use the optional SeriaI interface cartridge, IS-8XL.
