[Connecting a host machine]
Connection of the host interface cable is illustrated below. Select the host interface before turning on power to
the PG-FP3. The selected host interface cannot be changed after power has been turned on.
Connecting the printer interface cable
Set the interface select switch to the printer interface position. Connect the host machine with the printer
interface cable supplied as an accessory. Use the appropriate interface cable for the type of host machine (PC-
9800 or PC/AT).
The printer interface cable cannot be used unless the host machine supports bidirectional parallel
communication. Before using this cable, therefore, confirm that the host machine supports bidirectional
communication, compatible mode, and ECP mode.
