Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
To connect your computer to your printer’s built-in parallel
interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with a
D-SUB, 25-pin, male connector for your computer and a 36-pin
Centronics
®
compatible connector for the printer.
If your computer requires a different type of printer interface, you
should be able to use one of the optional interfaces described on
page A-3.
Follow the steps below to connect the printer to your computer
using the built-in parallel interface.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. The
printer is off when the surface of the
Operate
button is even
with the button protectors.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface
connector, and squeeze the wire clips together until they lock
in place on both sides of the connector.
