Connecting the Printer to Your PC
You need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable to connect your
printer to your computer. The cable must have a D-SUB, 25-pin
male connector for your computer and a 36-pin, Centronics
compatible connector for the printer’s parallel interface.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the 36-pin end of the cable connector securely into the
printer’s interface connector. Then squeeze the wire clips
together until they lock in place on both sides. If your cable
has a ground wire, attach it to the ground connector next to
the interface connector.
3. Plug the 25-pin end of the cable into the computer’s parallel
interface according to the instructions in your computer
manual.
4. Turn on the printer by pressing the
Operate
button and
then turn on your computer.
Now see Chapter 2 for instructions on installing and using the
printer driver.
