Connecting the interface cable

Connect the printer to your computer using a standard Centronics parallel interface cable. On a PS/2 or PC/AT-type computer, this means that you use the 25-pin D-type connector at the computer end, and the Amphenol-type 36-pin connector at the printer end. The configuration of the printer’s connector is given in Chapter 10 should you need a cable for connecting to another computer.

1.Turn off the power switch both the printer and the computer.

2.Remove the connector cap from the interface connector.

3.Connect the interface cable to the printer as shown in Figure 2-9. Make sure that you press the plug fully into the interface connector.
