Action 4: Connect Your Printer to Your Computer
You must connect the printer to your computer with a suitable interface cable. A bi-directional
IEEE 1284 compliant parallel cable should be used for this connection, unless you are using
the optional serial interface board.
1
Make sure that the printer power switch is
off before connecting or disconnecting the
interface cable.
Also, make sure that the computer is turned
off.
2
Connect the parallel interface cable (printer
cable) to the parallel interface port of the
printer. ( ① )
Secure the connection with the wire clips.
( ② )
Connect the interface cable to the printer
port of the computer.
NOTE
The printer can also operate with an RS-232C/RS-422A serial interface by installing the
optional serial interface board. In some countries it might be pre-installed. For more
information, see “CHAPTER 4 OPTIONS” in the User’s Guide.
For the location of your computer’s parallel (or serial, if you are using the optional interface
board) printer port, refer to the User’s Guide of your computer.
