Requirements

Before using this machine, make sure all environmental and electrical require- ments met. Connect the machine to the host computer using the parallel port, network interface unit, or both.

Make sure all cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to attach the machine to the host computer or network are present.

Connecting the Machine to the Host Using the Parallel Cable

Connect the machine to the host computer using the parallel port. This machine does not come with a parallel cable to connect the machine to the host computer.

The machine's parallel interface is a standard bidirectional interface. It requires a standard IEEE 1284 compliant 36-pin parallel cable and a parallel port on the host computer. Make sure to purchase the appropriate cable for the machine and your computer.

Note

❒Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

❒Rating voltage of the interface connector: Max. DC 5V

Follow the procedures below to connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel cable.

Important

❒Before connecting the machine and a computer using an interface cable, make sure that the machine is not operating, and then turn off the main power switches of the machine and computer.

❒Be sure to use the designated interface cable. Other cables may cause radio in- terference.

A Turn off the main power switch.
