The printer’s parallel connection is a standard bi-
directional interface. It requires a standard 36-pin
parallel cable compliant with IEEE1284 and a
parallel port available on your computer.
To avoid electrical interference, use the shielded
cable.
Note
Do not use a parallel cable more than 2.5 meters
(8.2 feet) long.

Turn your computer off.
Attach the interface cable to the interface
connector of the printer. Secure the cable with
the metal fittings as shown in the illustration.
