Connecting a parallel cable
Use a parallel cable if you want to connect the printer directly to a
computer.
To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284 bidirectional C-type parallel
cable. These cables are clearly marked with IEEE-1284. Only IEEE-
1284 cables support all of the advanced printer features.
To connect a parallel cable
1 Make sure the printer and the
computer power are turned off.
2 Connect the parallel cable to the
printer parallel port. Press the
locking release levers while
connecting the cable.
Note
If installing the cable is difficult, make
sure you have the correct cable.
3 Connect the other end of the cable
to the proper connector on the
computer.
