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 25-way D- type connector at the computerend, and the Amphenol-type 36-way connec- tor 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 back of the printer yet.
