Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
• Serial (RS-232C/422A)
Use a serial interface if the printer is not near the computer. Many
computers have both parallel and serial interface ports. Serial
communication can operate up to 15 meters (50 feet). Parallel
communication is normally limited to 3 meters (10 feet).
• LocalTalk
Use the LocalTalk interface if the printer is connected to a Macintosh
network.
• Ethernet C
Use Ethernet C if the printer is used in a NetWare or UNIX
environment.
For any of these options refer to Chapter 3.
Connecting to the Parallel Port
This printer does not come with a parallel interface cable. You can use a
standard Centronics interface cable (sold separately) for this purpose.
Your dealer can advise you on the cable you require.
Notice:
Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.
Do not touch any connector contacts or corona wires to avoid possible
electrostatic damage to the printer.
To make the connection, plug
the cable connector into the
parallel interface port on the
back of the printer. Secure the
connector with the wire clips.
Plug the other connector into
your computer’s parallel port.
