Connecting the Machine to the host
using the parallel cable/IEEE 1394 (SCSI
print) cable
Connect the machine to the host com-
puter using the optional IEEE 1284 in-
terface board or optional IEEE 1394
interface board. This machine does
not come with a parallel cable to con-
nect the machine to the host compu-
ter.
The machine's parallel interface is a
standard bidirectional interface. It re-
quires an IEEE 1284 compliant Micro
Centronics 36 Pin Cable and a parallel
port on the host computer. Make sure
you purchase the appropriate cable
for the machine and your computer.
Note
❒ Do not use a parallel cable that is
longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
❒ Rating voltage of the interface con-
nector: Max. DC 5V
Follow the procedure below to con-
nect the machine to the host compu-
ter.
Important
❒ Before connecting the machine to a
computer using a parallel interface
cable, make sure the machine is
idle, and then turn off both ma-
chine and computer.
❒ Be sure to use a specified interface
cable. Other cables may cause ra-
dio interference.
