CONNECTING THE PRINTER
30
2 Parallel (standard)
The printer supports a standard (uni-directional) parallel port. The port can
also be set for bi-directional communications using downloadable utility files
(available on the printer’s CD-ROM, diskettes, or from your World Wide Web
browser).
■Use a high-density bi-directional parallel cable, available from most
computer cable vendors; or order a 36-pin high-density printer to
25-pin DSUB PC cable from Tektronix (order number: 012-1468-00).
Otherwise, you can use a 36-pin to 36-pin parallel cable and the
parallel adapter supplied with the printer.
■Connect a parallel interface cable to your computer and to the printer’s
parallel port:
