Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the DocuColor can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated networks using protocols other than TCP/IP or IPX.

The parallel port connection is active at the same time as the network ports.

TO USE PARALLEL CABLE:

1.With the DocuColor and the Windows computer or server turned off, attach the Cen- tronics-type parallel cable to the parallel port of the DocuColor.

The parallel port is the top connector on the back of the DocuColor.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.

3.Turn on the computer and the DocuColor.

4.Proceed to Setup.

To print to the parallel port, you will need to set up the parallel port connection. See “Parallel Port Setup options” on page 2-13. For information on setting up printing, see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the User Guide.
