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 parallel
board or the optional IEEE 1394 inter-
face board. This machine does not
come with a parallel cable to connect
the machine to the host computer.
The machine's parallel interface is a
standard bidirectional interface. It re-
quires a standard IEEE 1284 compli-
ant 36-pin parallel 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 to connect the
machine to the host computer using a
parallel cable or IEEE 1394 interface
cable.
Important
❒ Before connecting the machine and
a computer using an interface ca-
ble, make sure the machine is not
operating, and then turn off the
main power switches of the ma-
chine and computer.
❒ Be sure to use a specified interface
cable. Other cables may cause ra-
dio interference.
A Turn off the main power switches
of the machine and computer.
Important
❒ Before turning off the main
power switch, see “Turning Off
the Power”, General Settings
Guide.
B Plug the cable into the connector
on the machine’s interface.
❖ Parallel Connection
❖ IEEE 1394 (SCSI print) Connection
C Plug the other end of the cable
into the connector on the comput-
er’s interface.
D Turn on the machine's main pow-
er switch.
